It's been a while, so let the flurry begin...
-Sustainable Cities Collective sheds light on Cleveland’s new policy to attract and create local, sustainable business. New legislation allows the city to offer a 5% discount to local food businesses bidding for city contracts. Since most bids are decided by 5% or less, a discount for being a certified Local Sustainable Business—a process that will be determined by the Cleveland Office of Sustainability—will offer a ‘huge’ advantage.
-George Penfold does believe that Canadians have a food security issue, he thinks Canucks have a convenience issue.
-Will the GSA scrap the 250 foot green wall idea from the Edith Green-Wendell Wyatt Federal Building? There has been lots of buzz about the project, both good and bad.
-It's wonderful that municipalities are working on urban agriculture issues, KC is trying to straighten out their urban agriculture ordinance. But, uh, what's this? Urban farmers could hire employees???
-Vertical farms are neat, but won't save us in the long run say folks from the Land Institute. Their solution? Converting cropland to the production of diverse, food-producing, perennial crops and a reliance on natural processes and cohesive rural communities, not technological fantasies.
