Urban agriculture best practices across the USA

A couple of quick urban agriculture hits!

Earlier this week the Turner Environmental Law Clinic released a report detailing best practices across the United States.
A few things jump out at me from the executive summary, I'll have more comments on the whole thing later:

1. If you'd like to detail the best urban agriculture practices "in these parts", it would make sense to include Canada's biggest cities as well (Toronto, Vancouver, Montreal). There's much to be learned and on the grassroots level, I have seen a fair amount of idea cross-pollination.

2. I know precious little about urban agriculture in the southwestern US (and there's nothing about it in this report). Note to self (and everyone out there reading) for future blog post, find out what's happening down in the desert, because we rarely hear about it.

-For those across Canada, you have until January 31 to apply for the Green Grants Program and possible get $10,000 for your urban agriculture, community development or environmental stewardship project.
