  • Haven’t tasted olive oil from Turkey, but Greek oil is very good, stronger than most Italian or Spanish. But it’s very expensive, and it’s suffering more from droughts and fires.

    Portuguese is the same as southern Spain, mostly Picual variety. However it’s not really much cheaper despite what the article claims, unless you go for shit quality.

    IMHO go for the cheapest in your area that is extravirgin certified and the variety you like.







  • You can’t. Even if you have a home, unless you own a lot of land near it, but can’t grow enough food to live off of it. Even if you had, the moment you have a problem (diseases, droughts, floods, too much sun, too little sun… etc) you are fucked.

    I live in a small apartment and I have peppes and some small tomatoes plants, plus lots of herbs. You cannot really grow anything close to something you can live for. If your apartment is super large, you could have a hydroponics room, which would give you lots of option for reliable food, but it’s very energy intensive so it’s not really ecological unless you happen to have solar panels or something, in which case you probably aren’t in an apartment in the first place.

    I like farming and worked a lot of it with my grandfather when I was a child and still help my family with it. But people don’t really know what farming is like, especially modern farming. Some people have really ideallized versions of what its like.
