Interested in urban agriculture?

by Michael Smith (Veshengro)

If you are interested in urban agriculture, and in the promotion of it, then check out the report of the Australian Food Sovereignty Alliance's Nick Rose who recently journeyed to study innovative models in the American Midwest, Toronto and five provinces of Argentina.

'The focus of the study was to explore models of urban agriculture that could generate livelihood opportunities, especially for young people; and/or enhance food security for vulnerable and low-income groups. The study involved visits to over 80 organizations and institutions across the regions visited, and interviews with more than 150 people.'

The entire report can be downloaded at: http://www.nick-rose.com/churchill-fellowship-report/ and those of us who are interested in the subject and/or want to promote it in our own locales can get some valuable information from it.
