The MacArthur Genius grants were announced last week. It's always interesting to read who gets the grants; it's such a diverse group of artists and scientists. This one caught my eye: Will Allen is an urban farmer in Milwaukee, who has developed education programs revolving around gardening and farming in the city--rather than rural areas--with his non-profit, Growing Power. They grow, they sell, they eat...with an emphasis on sustainable methods (of course).
What a cool project. (We've got our own version here in Beloit, at the Merrill Park Community Garden)
