it has become something as simple as getting the funding, materials, and elbow grease to take a vacant lot, get it cleared and detoxified or just use raised beds... or even a find a (certified for load) rooftop (which would also make it a green roof), and then grow food there.





Doing raised beds makes it much easier to control any toxin exposure from the ground and the plants reduce the amount of asphalt absorbing/radiant that heat in an inefficient manner.

LOL and as I'm typing this, I am hearing a blip on he news radio station about this - https://www.media.pa.gov/Pages/Agriculture_details.aspx?newsid=1112

The state's AG secretary has been here visiting the urban farms.
