More suburbian agriculture...umm...new ruralism...I mean, agricultural urbanism

Frances Moore Lappé, author of the seminal work "Diet for a Small Planet" in 1971, weighs in the question "have things gotten better or worse" in the last 40 years? Startling to think her book was written when Michael Pollan was in high school!!!

-The Association for Peak Oil and Gas is having their annual conference, this year entitled Truth In Energy November 3-4, but conference activities go from November 2-5.

-Across the North Hempisphere things are getting a little colder, if you still have the gardening bug here are 10 great winter vegetables to try.

-The green economy gets a great board game. The goal? Compete to hit the triple bottom line for Hawai'i. Why Hawai'i...everyone loves Hawai'i!!!

-Utne magazine details something I have talked about recently, mainly this new trend of “agricultural urbanism,” “new ruralism,”, "suburbian agriculture", the movement of many names has several cities embracing it. I wonder what has happened to this development in Colorado since we first heard of it? I smell a follow up report.

See you in October!
