Overview

Public Produce makes a uniquely contemporary case not for central government intervention, but for local government involvement in shaping food policy. This book profiles urban food growing efforts, illustrating that there is both a need and a desire to supplement our existing food production methods outside the city with opportunities inside the city. There is much to be gained, Nordahl writes, in adding a bit of agrarianism into our urbanism.
