Green roofs in depth in Oregon

A few more quiet days before lots of projects take off for us and others. So, here are a few stories before things get wacky.

-Wedded dynamic duo Nicole Sangsuree and Katie Boeh bring spin farming and more to Oregon, although with the recent brouhaha over trademarked names, surely someone will be clambering that the term
Farming for Victory was actually theirs first. We all know Oregon is miles beyond most of North America, Sustainable Business Oregon reports the city has a total of 273 ecoroofs over 13 acres!

-Here's another entrant into the vertical farming field, looks like these folks based in San Diego focus on greenhouse growing. Cityponics in Chicago I think is one step beyond with their system, but maybe doesn't have the community contacts yet. But that's just a guess.

- In Bayramic, Turkey, from June 4-11, there's a natural building workshop which will cover adobe, strawbale, earthen plasters and local plastering methods.

-And one quick permaculture job posting in Pakistan
