Material for Monday, April 14 (Urban Agriculture)

Even though we covered a lot of ground (so to speak) during our Week 2 Monday meeting, we didn't have a chance for each of you to share your research into urban agriculture. So let's devote next Monday's class to that and to working out whatever details we need to address to move forward with your on-campus garden. If you have websites on urban agriculture to share with us, post them to the blog. If you have handouts, bring them next Monday. And let's all read "Farm City" before then too, so that we can include Novella Carpenter's book in our discussion (and possibly come up with some more questions to ask her).

Here's a link to a urban-farming video that I just happened upon. It includes apiculture, aquaponics, livestock, hydroponics, and growing vegetables in vacant lots. Check it out: http://video.pbs.org/video/2276862085/!
