Saw the following on cnn.com: Urban farming movement 'like a revolution'
Edit 8/12/09:Heard Novella Carpenter on radio. She is on a tour promoting her book, Farm City: The Education of an Urban Farmer on urban farming.
Looks like there is lot more urban farming around than one would have expected.
Thanks to Chandran for pointing to the article in the popular Indian newspaper, The Hindu.
Bill Gates, today at World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, pledged $306 million in grants to develop farming in poor countries. I welcome that.
