Algae growers unite!

A great project started in Ireland, I believe, to map every permaculture project around the world. If you know of any projects, known or under the radar, please drop this guy a line. While we're at it, a couple of new permaculture websites in Porteguese and Spanish.

-The next frontier for home-growers? Can you get more local than your backyard? How about algae in the kitchen? Aaron Baum seems like a fantastic person, willing to help with installations for free!

-There's an urban agriculture farming bill that was unanimously passed in the Missouri House of Representatives to study urban agriculture and vertical farming in Missouri's metropolitan areas. Score a big one for State Rep. Jason Holsman, D-Kansas City.

-Reason number 1034 why urban planning is a great career choice for the future. This blogger's stance makes sense, want to affect food systems on a large scale? Be a planner.

-Accomplishments of pre-industrial Edo Japan include having a tree canopy covering 80% of Tokyo and free shellfish for it's residents. Check out the great synopsis first, then read all of Azby Brown's new book, Just Enough: Lessons in Living Green from Traditional Japan. It's on hold at the library already!
