Urban farming
I think the emerging interest in urban farming is an innovation that deserves attention, investment, and engagement. The growth of assets like open spaces and agri-opportunities is amazing. The conversation also shifts the whole economic and job development from a post-industrial model to a new urban agrarian model. We have the people to work new farms, we have the resources to teach new methods, and we have people who have the practical need for organic foods that only lack ever-growing transportation costs. The farms can be on micro-scales, approached co-operatively, and best of all, people from the suburbs can be finally relieved from any guilt, fear, embarrassments, or resentments about the city that will always exist at the geographical core of any metropolitan region.
