“Here you can go a week without spending a single euro over here,” says a man who moved back to Crete two years ago to live in the village of his birth. “You get fresh food from your farm and if you need something extra, like olive oil for example, you can get it from a fellow farmer. You only need money to pay for your gas and bills,” he says.

He is not alone. For the first time in years, Amari Valley in the island’s Rethymno district has turned green again as fields have been cleared and put back to use as farms.

Recent data on farming in Greece show that the number of jobs in the sector has gone up by 38,000 between 2008 and 2010. This increase is in stark contrast to the grim statistics regarding rising unemployment across most other sectors.

Great! People taking charge of their lives. People on the land can do good as long as they follow the princples. Taking man off the land has reaked havic on OUR economy. Always has and aways will. I found John Sally Seymoure and Maurice G. Kains and J. E. Oldfield .
Good principles found in these : Farming for Self-Sufficiency: Independence on a Five-Acre Farm
You don’t need 5 acres, just a spot.
Hippies had it right the first time. Grow your own. Simplify your life. Stick it to the man!
We all better be going back to this way of life. Or starting to learn. May have to if you know what I mean. What I worry about most is something happening to this nation’s electricity. Whether it be just where you live or all across the nation. Right now southern california is without. And due to war or what have you, if we ever lose that, it will cripple everything down to it’s knees. No communication, no buying food. No nothing.

But even financially it’s nice to see these people are able to go back to their roots in this way.
Lock yer doors! Monsanto is coming!

Don’t call it a comeback, but the self sufficient society is back and i think its great! The more independent people can become – no matter how small – the less power the crap ass government has over its people. If we all keep doing this, we will drive the government out of our lives.
They explicitly claimed they wanted to return everyone to the status of peasant agrarians in a gift economy.

When I read of more onerous restrictions on local, small-scale food, I ask myself why this is going to be important.
Time to step up the ChemTrails in Greece I guess.
Now they can really farm excellent fresh foods and live off the land the way it was intended to be. Farming your own land is great and very healthy. Whatever other people need can be based on a barter system and other items can be purchased from a market. There is mild cynical humor in what I am saying. However, ancient Greece thrived, without modern equipment and made a major contribution to all of the classics, governance and phenomenal architecture. They did it all with their minds and bodies, along with a few slaves.
- When I watched Greek poverty cooking, water was tediously drawn up, through a hand dug well.
  
  Tender weeds and garden snails were going into homemade tomato sauce.
  
  Leftover grape skins were boiled in water, which was strained off and condensed into a form of molasses.
  
  I can go on.
  
  Since you mention slaves — being the only person around you with primitive skills is not a claim to fame. Rather, it is so much irritating trivia in the the mouth of someone with no enforceable moral authority. The coordinated survivalist is forever busy, not creating masterpieces or developing himself philosophically…
  - They are doing the best that they can under the current circumstances. Greece has been taken over by ravaging Globalists who think they can just buy up the country and subjugate it and place massive burdens of debt. WRONG. More Protests Needed. Europe is crumbling under the Euro and so is the Euro.
- The problem lies in populations. Back then there weren’t millions of people packed into small pockets of civilization that depended on transportation for most everything they need to survive. When the “system” eventually breaks down billions will perish. Modern society’s main weakness is its large populations. What happens when the electric grid goes down or gas reaches insane prices? The factories will shut down and the trucks won’t move. Government won’t be able to save anyone. Bad things are in store for the United States of America, the chickens are coming home to roost. Thank a politician in your area today!
Those that survived the depression best were those that had land to farm the city folks had to steal or starve.
But the globalist are going to put a stop to local farming so no one can survive without govt help.
If Obama truly wanted to put money back in the pockets of Americans, he could do it today! No one has mentioned it, but it’s been done before. Within his executive powers in the Constitution he could utilize the attorney generals office to investigate the trillions of dollars stolen from citizens and the government by banks and corrupt corporations. He could also get BP prosecuted for their trillions of dollars of damage to our nation.
This would put money in pockets right away.The BP money could be utilized in lieu of tax dollars funding FEMA as well as fix our crumbling infrastructure.
- Produce are be poor. How many investor can a producer support. The true investor is the labor that invest his are her time in producing something of worth. In the beginning a person had a idea and hire people who were interested investing there time in producing that idea. When the labor was done the produce was sold and the company had profit. The profit went to pay for the investment of labor and to supplies to build more whatever. Then greed got the better of owners and labor. Owner wanted cheaper and cheaper labor and labor wanted the profits for retirement funds. Then came free trade with very cheap labor an the end of good wages for the investment of labors. But in the end the investment of labor is the only investor that matters. People use to say inflation was cause buy wages but I say look at the inflation cause buy to many investor waiting on to few producers. Any How many investors can a produce support, the retired person, the banker, the lawyers, the government people. The truth labor is not the cause of inflation they are just the first in line of a long line of investors wanting for a cut in produce. The time is over when it comes to blaming labor for inflation , labor is just one investor in a long line of investors with there hands out , BUT labor is the first investor.
