Urban Farming – What a great idea!!

[Tosh K]

It’s great once you do the due diligence (checking for and mitigating contaminants like lead); New Haven has a pretty extensive strategy in place that’s being executed by a group of dedicated non-profits.

The Land Matters section in the mostrecent issue of LAM was about food production. Did anyone else read that? New Urbanists also seem very interested in food garden design lately. Steve Mouzon recently wrote about the aesthetics of food gardens on his blog (http://www.originalgreen.org/blog/the-agricultural-aesthetic.html). I’m glad to see this topic getting more attention.

What a great link, thanks for sharing!!

The first time I was involved in a project of such nature was at the Chopra Wellness Center in Costa Rica (which due to the crisis went on hold…) But the concept was absolutely innovative for me at the time.

Hi Anamaria,

This is a great video. You may want to join the group Urban Agriculture here at Land8. I’m involved in urban farm initiatives in the Bay Area and post to that group-would love you to post your ideas there, too! Suzan

Hello Suzan! Thanks for the tip, I already joined the group :o)

We’ll be in touch!
