Learn to grow a garden. Whether it's a few herbs on a windowsill, containers on your back patio, a few square foot garden boxes, or a full on small home farm. The benefits of growing and eating your own food are enormous, and the skills you learn will be invaluable in a long term emergency situation.
Have you planned your garden yet?
"Let every Latter-day Saint that has land, produce some valuable, essential foodstuff thereon and then
preserve it: or if he cannot produce an essential foodstuff, let him produce some other kind and
exchange it for an essential foodstuff; let them who have no land of their own, and who have knowledge of
farming and gardening, try to rent some, either by themselves or with others, and produce foodstuff
thereon, and preserve it. Let those who have land produce enough extra to help their less fortunate
brethren." Conference Report, April 1942
"We encourage you to grow all the food that you feasibly can on your own property. Berry bushes,
grapevines, fruit trees -- plant them if your climates right for their growth. Grow vegetables and eat them
from your own yard. Even those residing in apartments or condominiums can generally grow a little food in
pots and planters. Study the best methods of providing your own foods. Make your garden...NEAT AND
ATTRACTIVE as well as productive. If there are children in your home, involve them in the process
with assigned responsibilities..." President Spencer W. Kimball, Ensign, May 1976, pp12-25
