Foraging season begins

If you're a permaculture enthusiast in or near Belgium, (here's looking at all of you urban agriculture folks in the Netherlands) later this month is your chance to be part of the very first permaculture "teach the teacher" course.

-Urban agriculture proponents have plenty of reasons to champion their cause. One of the most profound is how reconnecting to the earth can literally change lives.

-With most of North America enveloped in warm weather for the last month, urban foraging season is upon us. Take a look at some recent foraging excursions in Washington DC and  Toronto.

-In "The Big Smoke" earlier this week the Toronto Food Policy Council released a new report which details how over 60 goverments use food systems for a slew of purposes, from generating economic development to engaging communities.
