Real green wall information!

As many folks know, I'm a cooperative guy and like to share. And anyone affiliated with verticiel Inc. relishes helping as well. So it's great to see McRae Anderson release this ebook, free, with more info than I can remember coming from one person in a while.

-Continuing on the sharing topic, the University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension has a comprehensive guide to Urban Agriculture for Nebraska and beyond. Speaking of resources, there are always new ways to build community and save a few bucks too.
-I don't know when it will be done, but be sure to read
the Design Trust for Public Space's plan for the future of urban farms in New York City.

Okay, now a quick global roundup:

-In the Phils the Bureau of Agricultural Research plans to introduce the concept of "edible landscaping" to the mainstream population.
-In Taxco, Mexico, not far from Mexico City, residents are being encouraged to implement Cuban farming techniques to grow certain crops.
-And I've just recently read, African Indigenous Vegetables in Urban Agriculture. A touch expensive, but worth buying if you have some extra cash. Or...you can share with a few friends!

Lastly, here's a job alert for those in DC who want to write about food!
