Urban Agriculture in India + more

A couple of interesting posts recently about urban agriculture in India. First up, looks like high food prices could cause some problems for the ruling government, so a plan is being discussed to create a ring of vegetable only farms around urban centers.

-Space is still available in Ryerson University's Urban Agriculture Types. The online offering starts January 15, so hurry up!

-If you're down in New Mexico, the Permaculture Credit Union is looking for a director. And if you're ever EVER, looking for an urban agriculture job in NYC, Food Systems Network has you covered!

-Do urban trees lead to healthier babies? My question is, does any other kind of greening? Green roofs...green walls? Let's get those grant applications ready folks!
