Rob Greenfield: Is It Possible to Grow and Forage 100% of My Food? I Decided to Find Out
For one year I grew and foraged 100% of my food.
Every. Single. Bite.
No grocery stores, no restaurants, not even a drink at a bar.
Nature was my garden, my pantry and my pharmacy.
This is my presentation of the year, given at Orlando Permaculture in Orlando, Florida on 11/12/19. This presentation shares the story of my experience but more importantly was designed to lay the framework for anyone in Central Florida who wants to step away from industrial agriculture and live within a fully localized food system. For a detailed resource guide to accompany this presentation go to:
—
I lived in the city of Orlando, Florida in a 100 square foot tiny house.
With no land of my own I turned front yards into gardens and shared the bounty of food with the homeowners.
Over the year I grew over 100 different foods in my gardens, foraged over 200 foods from nature and I even grew and foraged my own medicine and vitamins too.
This project wasn’t just about growing and foraging all of my food though. It was about empowering others to take back power from Big Ag. I built gardens 15 Gardens for the People, planted over 200 Community Fruit Trees, sent out over 5,000 seed packs to help people grow their own organic, healthy food and I taught free gardening classes to the people in my community.
I’ve been exploring food for nearly a decade and I believe the globalized, industrialized food system is broken . This was a personal quest to see whether I could step away from Big Ag and grow and forage every bite of my own food.
Here I am, one year later. I did it and I feel healthier and happier today than when I started.
I’m here to share solutions for a more sustainable and just food system with you.

You are an inspiration ❤
I am Caribbean and you are on point with what you are saying hope the viewers take you seriously and follow you
Our peas can make great soup dry or green
Also cooked with rice
Can also be stewed down it's like much less water than the soup add coconut milk hope you do know what it is
Thank you and one love
Lying DB where’s my $100 or 25 trees mofo
Question.
My plants are taking forever to grow. Example I've had 5 cantaloupe plants growing for over 8 months now, my Tomatos have taken 7 months. Everything is growing super super slow. How do I speed up the growing process? Lettuce is taking me 5+ months to grow from seed! Like it's a 30-40 day crop. So what can I do to speed things up? I've got a back to Eden garden, wood chips, I just put the chips/leaves/pine needles/cardboard, top soil, and worm castings down 4 months ago. So there just starting to decompose. But I got older chips, year old. Anyway, I like all natural gardening. Any natural fertilizers for faster growing results would be great! My plants are healthy and beautiful, just slow growing. Any help will be much appreciated, as I hope to get some fruit before the frost coming in 3 weeks or so.
This guy is a fake and a phony. Ron greenfield does nothing but lie to people to make money from his YouTube subscribers. He claims he has little to no money but the money he receives from YouTube subscribers tells a totally different story.
Watch and subscribe to ANY other person. RON GREENFIELD IS a fake.
Start to drink sea water to get the rest of nutrients for the body. Just from 1/4 of the cup and the rest of the cup add juices or regular water.
For those who live in a Florida HOA many of these sustainable ground covers and edible landscape plants will cause the neighbors to grumble. Perhaps you could help us figure out how to sell these ideas to Property Managers and Board Members!!
"Grow and forage"???… Why keep your body in a state of survival instead of a state of thriving? 😢 RAISE your own food and thrive as our ancestors 🤗
Live VEGAN
Turned into a wet wipe lol
Wassup with the picture of Ceaser Borges in the background?? That “IS NOT” Jesus! (Fix it Jesus!!!!)
Love you Rob and love your example.thanks yo show the world that we can stand by our self without the industrial
you don't need to worry about protein. there's plenty of it in all the vegetables and fruits and beans
I'm in White Plains Georgia I listen to you!
What's BEHIND the unsustainability ? Using force to control others in violation of their natural rights.
We see this in many corrupt companies, but mostly in GOVERNMENT.
Building community and society are great. But when some people force others to participate in surviving ways that violate their consent, you end up with systems that spiral out of control, because the natural feedback loops that exist in natural systems are broken.

I went to the dollar store yesterday and it was full of condiments and pickles from India and Pakistan !! How can that possibly make economic sense to ship heavy things like jars of pickles from India…. We can't grow cucumbers and produce pickles here?
oh! ok! 🙂
pourquoi il y a des images du Seigneur Jésus Christ derrière vous ?
super info sir. sir you are knowledge fort
Awesome 👌gardening tips 👌
those poor kids. hahaha. great presentation! You are truely inspiring
I love you Rob
Awesome !👏🏻 👏🏻
I was called into Loma
Linda because they said I did something to my daughters part of her brain that their scientists have studied
For many years & had
Not been able to do.
This was in the 1970's.
So, yes I do believe in my food is my medicine!!!
Wow. Great job!
So inspirational
🤗
Hm
Awesome
So happy I found your page.
Amazing accomplishment. Yet I couldn’t help but notice the Typical attitude of omnivores that they’re going to die without enough fat and protein without looking enough at other factors.
I'm just watching this wondering why the hell there's a picture of jesus in the background lol
P.S. Fascinating talk!! Would be interesting to hear something similar for cold climates
Hey Rob, I'm curious but what are your thoughts on Hydroponics and Aquaponics?
Also you are proof that the phrase "Give a man a fish and feed him for a day, teach him to fish and feed him for life" is a very true and still usable phrase!
Love it! Many thanks for sharing. Very inspiring
New challenge. Come to Fairbanks AK, and see if you can fully sustain off the land with hunting, fishing, and greenhousing. I love your videos!!!
Hello Sir Rob, saw your video from someone who shared it. this is what i really wanted to do in my life, this is the happiness that im looking for. You inspired me so much. Thank you.
Hi Rob! I live in Buenos Aires, in the center of the city and i have the luck to live in kind of a weird place! It's kind of a house behind a building on a really busy avenue. I have a little balcony in which i have planted some tomatoes, aromatics, eggplants before, but there's only so much I can do in a pot. The building my house is attached to has a garden where there's a lemon tree a huge avocado tree that (so I'm set for guacamole!). I want to start planting on there and show my neighbors there's a lot we can do. What greens or roots would you suggest I plant? I'm also afraid a lot of it wont grow since it's SO HUMID HERE and some parts of the garden dont get a lot of sun.
Thanks in advance!
