Here’s an interesting bit we stumbled upon on MSNBC about urban farming in New York City, USA. As the worldwide trend towards urbanization continues to roll on, the prospects of urban farming becomes more and more evident, if not, a practical necessity.  I like this quote from the rooftop farmer “Food comes from not only a plant but a place,” Novak explains. “The food system in America is about packaging and I’m interested in food that comes from the source with no packaging, where its value is its face value. We’ve lost the sense that good nutritious food doesn’t have to come in a box. And the more we connect to our food the more likely we are to become true environmentalists. We’ll understand that food that’s healthy for our bodies is also protecting our watershed and our air.”
