All is quiet on the living architecture front...

Over the last week there has been a mysterious dearth of interesting living architecture articles and stories. Perhaps people are holding back for April, international gardening month?

So in the meantime, we'll feature and revisit a Popular Science's feature from last August, 8 solutions for feeding over 9 billion people by 2050.. One suggestion that was unfortunately not on the list is using food more wisely. Estimates vary that more than 30% of food is actually wasted.
Speaking of waste, I'm sure many have heard about the strawberries being trashed in Florida. Hundreds of thousands of pounds uprooted and disposed of because they wouldn't fetch a fair market price. However at least one farmer is letting people pick for free and shipping to food banks.

-Permaculture websites in Spanish are gaining in popularity, but this may be the first in Porteguese that I'm aware of.

-Oh and I can't forget the City of Chicago's main portal for the green roofs open to the public.

-Okay, well, maybe one last thing.Five easy steps on how to start an eco-village.
