Fallbacks

People are growing food at home again. Vegetables. Honey. Eggs. Protein.

Not because it’s cheaper. Not because it scales. Not because it replaces the system.

Because the system paused once.

Deliveries stopped. Rules changed. Shelves emptied. Timelines slipped.

Nothing collapsed. That’s the point.

But once you’ve seen interruption, you stop mistaking convenience for certainty.

A garden isn’t a protest. Bees aren’t ideology. Chickens aren’t paranoia.

They’re small, complete loops. Effort in. Food out.

No dependency on perfect coordination.

When people build fallbacks into their lives, it’s not because they expect disaster.

It’s because they’ve learned something quieter:

Continuity is an assumption. Resilience is a choice.
