To explore this agricultural renaissance, brothers David and Michael Hanson and urban farmer Edwin Marty document twelve successful urban farm programs, from an alternative school for girls in Detroit, to a backyard food swap in New Orleans, to a restaurant supply garden on a rooftop in Brooklyn. Each beautifully illustrated essay offers practical advice for budding farmers, such as composting and keeping livestock in the city, decontaminating toxic soil, even changing zoning laws. 606 $aUrban agriculture$zUnited States 606 $aCommunity gardens$zUnited States 610 $aagricultural renaissance. 610 $aamerican agriculture. 610 $aamerican farming. 610 $abecoming a gardener. 610 $acity farmers. 610 $acity grown food. 610 $acity life. 610 $acommunity gardening. 610 $acrowded cities. 610 $afarm life. 610 $afarming and gardening. 610 $afood and environment. 610 $afood and sustainability. 610 $afood lovers. 610 $afood. 610 $afuture of food. 610 $agardening books. 610 $agardening diy. 610 $agardening in city. 610 $agardens. 610 $agreen thumb. 610 $ahomesteading. 610 $aliving green. 610 $asustainability. 610 $asustainable agriculture. 610 $asustainable gardening. 610 $aurban agriculture. 610 $aurban farming. 610 $aurban gardening. 610 $aurban planting. 615 0$aUrban agriculture 615 0$aCommunity gardens 676 $a630.91732 700 $aHanson$b David$f1978-$01566260 701 $aMarty$b Edwin$f1972-$01566261 701 $aHanson$b Michael$f1981-$01566262 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910789978003321 996 $aBreaking through concrete$93836643 997 $aUNINA
