DESCRIPTION:People have always grown food in urban spaces -- on windowsills and 
 sidewalks, and in backyards and neighborhood parks -- but today, urban 
 farmers are leading an environmental and social movement that transforms 
 our national food system. 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. \n\nJoin us at The Ecology Center for a visual presentation and 
 discussion on food. David and Michael Hanson will guide an international 
 scenic tour, illustrating how people connect to food via images they've 
 collected from years of travel and documentary assignments: Fiji's remote 
 island fishing villages, Bolivia's high-desert quinoa farmers, America's 
 Deep South hunters and gathers, and more. Then they'll discuss what they 
 discovered during their two-month cross-country tour of America's urban 
 farms. Nothing says more about us than our food - You are what you eat!\n
