Will Allen of Growing Power discusses high-yield, small-scale, year-round urban agriculture. 1 million pounds of food grown on just 3 acres. Heat from compost and solar panels means a minimum amount of fossil fuels are used to heat and run the greenhouses.
I have to say, I was grinning like an idiot when I watched this video. As Allen says, it’s “the future of agriculture,” and on a non-profit, community-based model to boot.
