Food security, food justice and urban agriculture

There are "hundreds of nonprofits dedicated to building organic gardens" reports Civil Eats. And their recent article takes a look at a few exciting projects from across the continent. There's one particular project that I wanted to highlight, I forgot to post it back in August! (I know, so bad). But New Roots' work with refugees, particularly in cities.

 -Could big ag and big oil join forces? It's definitely something to be aware of as the US invests more time and energy into fracking.  

-Last for today is a short but illuminating article on the role of urban agriculture in South Africa, urban ag. has historically been illegal but that hasn't stopped people from embracing it across the country.
