-Speaking of curriculum, there's terrific news for Milwaukee Public Schools’ Urban Schools Aquaponics initiative. A two year contribution that includes $98,000 to develop curriculum and instructional content that educators can use to build similar programs nationwide.
-Will Allen is a busy man, as he has inspired Milwaukee to create an urban food systems institute, The Institute for Urban Agriculture and Nutrition.
-Talk about a criticism! No love lost for Alterrus, who went bankrupt a few weeks ago, from the National Post. Taken to task are Vancouver officials and well-compensated Alterrus staff members, but I get the feeling the author is just not a fan of Vancouver's current party in power. Why do I suspect that? He labelled some of their efforts as "goofy green initiatives".
-I find it quite interesting that Vincent Callebaut was given some space to talk about his Dragonfly vertical farm vision in an Abu Dhabi newspaper. If there's one place which likes to go big and would give it a try, it's Abu Dhabi. Think "The Landmark" and "Sky Tower".
-The Department of Crop Science at the Agricultural University of Athens has been quite proficient recently in publicizing their findings from the experiments with native Mediterranean plants best suited for green roofs. They're back with more plants which should proliferate in the Mediterranean region.
That's all for now. Look for a brand new verticiel website very, very soon!
