    As someone who is involved in a lot of community gardening activities, I am also trying to change my use of the word gardening to farming.

    Mostly, because gardening sounds amateur and like a hobby -- and I want to start conveying the message that if we don't start taking growing food seriously we will not be in a good place when global food systems start to collapse.

    So for me, it's farming, or agriculture. It can be super small scale, in a back yard, or community driven, but I try to use words other than gardening.
