CONTEXT:
Most urban farms are tiny compared to the huge farms that can operate in rural areas. Because of this, some see urban agriculture as a practice that can bring communities together and beautify spaces -- but not create enough food to make a commercial product. The Pippin Pepper growers sought to challenge this conventional wisdom. While none of the urban farmers can grow enough peppers for the sauce by themselves, together the network of small growers gets the job done.
TAKE ACTION:
Brainstorm what you and your neighbors could create if you all grew food together. And make use of your local public gardening resources, like DC's Department of Parks & Recreation gardening classes |
