| Abstract
|
:
|
"The farm of the future might be your neighbor's suburban lawn, the roof of your uptown condominium, or the co-op market garden in the vacant lot down the street. Urban Agriculture is a detailed look at the next logical step in the local food movement. It offers inspirational advice and working examples to help you dig in and become more self-sufficient with your own food choices."--BOOK JACKET
