-Raising mushrooms seems to be one of the hottest urban agriculture/socially responsible businesses. You can take waste, for instance, coffee grounds, grow and sell the mushrooms in a dark, dank basement (of which there are plenty in an urban setting) and when the grounds have been spent completely, you can sell that product as a fertilizer. Well, add this to your list of mushroom media: dirty diapers.
-There is a battle royale taking place in West LA. Residents of residential-agricultural zones say the character of their neighborhoods are threatened by proposed development.
