"Originally published as Growing a garden city"-- Title page verso.
Summary:
Fifteen people--plus a class of first graders--tell how local food, farms, and gardens changed their lives and their community . . . and how they can change yours, too. Urban Farming Handbook includes fifteen first-person stories of personal and civic transformation from a range of individuals, including farmers and community garden members, a low-income senior, a troubled teen, a foodie, and a food bank officer. The book includes seven in-depth "How It Works" sections on student farms, community gardens, community-supported agriculture (CSA), community education, farm work therapy, and community outreach.
