Spent the day yesterday with friend and film maker, Brad Masi, filming onsite interviews with an amazing pastiche of urban farmers. The ultimate piece is going into a new startup site that will bring people together to share every kind of food related learning possible through video media.
Beyond the palpable passion for their craft, each exemplified the current space of continuous innovation that urban farming has become. We're talking about parking lot straw bale vegetable beds, mutli-layered canopy urban forest plantings, hoop houses, and geodesic structures. There is no apparent limit to their creativity and imagination as they launch the revolution in the urban localization of food.
Whose passion would be sparked by open source access to their constantly evolving expertise in the whole cycle of mulch to market? Think students, immigrants. Think seniors and unemployed.
