important step towards food independence
Compare with this:
"Reasonably, people are thinking more and more about food independence. That’s excellent, and something we hold as a central tenet of Luciferian Dominionism; food is control. If you don’t control your food, you don’t control your life. Further, we can look at the ability to grow our own food as “flattening the food curve” for people who can’t. Every bushel of vegetables that you haul in leaves more for the very many people who can’t grow their own."

Valuable contribution to (self) sufficiency
| neutral |
Gordon Matthews
: "valuable" is good. I'm not sure that "(self) sufficiency" works, because of the brackets/parentheses. Leave away "self" and you are left with "contribution to sufficiency", which isn't quite what "Beitrag zur Versorgung" means.

How about (self) needs? "Valuable contribution to (self) needs." Makes sense?

Self-sufficiency (in this context) is about growing one's own food.

| agree |
Jennifer Caisley
: To balance out the disagree above - I think this is absolutely fine! I'd be tempted to rephrase to something like "contribution to growing (our own)/(your own) food", but that's really splitting hairs!
