Stephanie's Reviews > Urban Farming: Sustainable City Living in Your Backyard, in Your Community, and in the World

Really liked this book - a good, practical, down-to-earth guide on how to increase gardening/farming in urban areas. He makes a compelling case that urban farming will absolutely be necessary in feeding burgeoning urban populations around the world and shows how the divide between urban and rural has intensified over time (in the 1900s, cows and other livestock were not rare in American cities). A great resource on everything from selecting appropriate cultivars to diagnosing and treating various diseases and pests. It definitely has motivated and inspired me to amp up my own modest production. I did think the ending was too abrupt - a short pep talk about, "now go out and do it!" would have been appreciated.
