You may have heard of the concept of a 15-minute city and are wondering what one is. Here is a farmer to explain with chickens.

Before we start, the idea of a “15-minute city” tends to be fodder for conspiracy theorists. As if there is a grand cabal of global elites looking to control people by limiting them to a fifteen-minute radius and use other dystopian methods to control every aspect of their lives. Get those dark thoughts out of your head.

As WikiPedia tells us, a 15-minute city is nothing more than an “urban planning concept in which most daily necessities and services, such as work, shopping, education, healthcare, and leisure can be easily reached by a 15-minute walk or bike ride from any point in the city” to “reduce car dependency, promote healthy and sustainable living, and improve the overall quality of life for city dwellers.”

Got it? Now here is the farmer with his chickens.
