The residents of Todmorden in England are working together to fast-track the creation of a local food system—the town wants to declare food independence by 2018. Considering that only 2 years into the project, a third more of the residents were tending their own vegetable gardens and 15x as many townspeople were keeping backyard chickens (part of the Every Egg Matters campaign), the town will probably meet its goals.

this is very promising.
