My personal contribution to animal welfare, is breeding my own meat in form of chickens and rabbits. The added bonus is that I get a vastly superior quality of ecological meat at a much better price than the sorry, high-priced corpses I can get at the supermarket. No more medicine traces, growth hormones or genetically modified feed for me. I also keep honey bees. Fascinating creatures ! I plan on building a small worm farm. By vermicomposting (composting with worms), I will not only be able to vastly improve the composting of waste from kitchen, animals and, garden, but also to supplement the chickens need for animal protein with surplus worms. I am also considering starting experimenting with hydroponics and aeroponics for vegetables - I know that quantities are good, but the issues I want to determine, are taste, texture and, quality. I somehow doubt the taste will be as good as vegetables grown in soil. Time will show - that is, when I get the space. I hope, with time, to be able to purchase a small farm and expand the production with some cattle (preferably Highland) and goats. I will also be able to grow selected crops and vegetables and to have a fruit garden - but that's another story.
