New Farms Of The City

Bryant Terry, the eco chef, food justice activist and author speaks about the importance of a welcome trend: growing food in the urban environment.

"I've seen amazing examples where people have taken their own front yards and backyards and created these edible landscapes in which they are growing these varieties of fruits and vegetables, fresh herbs and even raising chickens in urban environments...a farm can be as close as the library down the street and not 100 miles away from us."

Imagine all the vacant lots in all of our cities that can be full of organic produce that need not be trucked in...
