Farming in Cities?

A FOOD CHAIN RELEASE FROM METROFARM.COM

Six decades ago, farms began leaving the city for greener pastures. Today they are returning. This leads us to ask: “Can farms and cities prosper together?”

This Saturday at 9am Pacific, the Food Chain with Michael Olson hosts Milwaukee’s Grow Urban and New York City’s Make Brooklyn Bloom farm conferences for a conversation about the efficacy of metropolitan agriculture.

Topics include reasons why farms locate in or near a city; why cities tolerate the growth of crops in their midst; and whether farms and cities can indeed prosper together.
