Will Allen is proving that city farms work -- big time. He’s not conjuring up theories; everything
that he is teaching in cities across the country he learned over the course of 20 years with his hands in the dirt, a little money in his pocket and a survivalist’s smarts for innovating.
He grows food in ways that few have seen before -- and he grows it sustainably. Allen’s 3-acre farm sits in the poorest part of Milwaukee and now feeds 10,000 people a year. It brought him a MacArthur grant and his neighbors good, healthy eating. The story is in Allen’s book The Good Food Revolution: Growing Healthy Food, People and Communities.
Read the interview on NPR, see the video
Just to be clear, the 10,000 people are getting their vegetables and some fruits, not their entire 3 meals a day.
