Living architecture word of the week: Metro-agarians

I wondered what all-inclusive term would be created for all of those involved in disparate urban agriculture activities. One university professor says Cleveland (and other post industrial cities) could become 100% self-sufficient if they put their arable land to work.

 -Buffalo definitely falls into this post industrial group as well. I tend not to hear or see much about the urban agriculture scene in Buffalo; good to know it’s stronger than one would even guess. By the way, how much more appealing is the word "post industrial" than rust belt?

 -Still coming down a bit from Thursday’s council meeting. It’s always interesting to see government at work and those in favor of green roofs will no doubt call the decision a win. But I think we all win with the decision that everyone can now apply for a city rebate.

 -More good news: I did a quick permaculture program post a few weeks ago and found out soon after that if you’re an EU citizen and want to take a permaculture course in Malta it can be done FOR FREE! Wow!!! However, if you are from Malta there’s no freebie for you. I know, strange. There's always Nicaragua!
