Love Uprising

“What determines our responsibility is the advantage we derive from what others offer us, not their merit in providing it.” Friedrich Hayek The Constitution of Liberty

     Love Uprising is a seed of sustainable life waiting to be planted.  The basic needs of life are food, shelter, and clothing.  Love Uprising realizes that now is the time to plant seeds of life in urban communities.

     In the summer of 2008, the United States saw huge increases in food prices due to a flaw in our current food production model and rising fuel prices.  The majority of the United States produce is grown in California.  In March 2009, California will place water restrictions on farmers which will cause scarcity and higher prices for produce this summer.  With the current drought conditions in the West, we can only expect this trend to continue to cause problems in our food production channel.

     Communities must become self reliant in cultivating their own food.  Love Uprising proposes a 40 Acres and a Muse initiative in North East Denver.  Many vacant lots can be transformed into small farms growing food to retail at local farmer's markets. Development sites can be transitioned into farms and local markets as they await development in future years.  The first step in this process is to gain land which we are currently identifying and contacting about potential synergies.

     Love Uprising needs your help.  In order to proceed to planting, we need seed money for soil testing, soil, seeds, equipment, surveys, ect...  Please checkout the 40 Acres and a Muse page for our working Mission Statement.

Your contributions are greatly appreciated.

Peace, Please.
