60 year leases on government land?

I haven't looked at the stats for urban farming in North America vs Europe, but it appears things are heating up on the east side of the Atlantic as well.

-In Canada, National Parks and Conservation areas are warming up to the idea of farming. Stat of the day, in Canada 5 year leases are normal but one U.S. national park in Ohio is offering farmers 60-year leases. THAT we need to hear more about!
A similar program to Guelph, Canada's FarmStart is profiled in Ottawa for its local work.

-I am definitely a lover of Utne magazine, they consitently deliver really interesting and timely articles. Case in point, this one about how the local food movement is inching toward inclusion across the USA.
