Local food plus + urban agriculture =

What do you get when you mix a concept like Local Food Plus with urban agriculture? Majora Carter's latest endeavor.

-Great stats about urban agriculture in Cleveland. Cleveland has over 50 or 60 acres of land (depending on who you talk to) dedicated to urban agriculture and a recent study claims they could produce almost all of their food!

-Singapore seems to be showing great interest in food security, having hosted the first International Conference on Asian Food Security last month and with a clear strategy for "finding a more stable global food system in the face of volatile food prices and supplies."

-Looks like Fresno, California could be the next city to try its hand at integrating small-scale agriculture and development.
