Farming with soil at sea

Hot of the presses is the latest Urban Agriculture Magazine. This month's edition is about "City Region Food Systems".


-For those new to or interested in urban homesteading there's a web series for you, check out "The Urban Homesteader"

-This to me seems pie in the sky, a concept I wouldn't normally comment on. Farming on huge rafts at sea? Seems too risky. But when you consider how quickly urban land is disappearing or being rapidly degraded, what's stopping someone in an overcrowded, seaside country from making a low-tech version of this and floating it off the coast so they can then have fresh vegetables?

-For the first time is a book which attempts to encapsulate all of the local and state laws applicable to community based urban agriculture.
