"Backyard Farming: Agricultural Innovations in Southeast Portland"
In the news we hear a lot about urban agriculture, but what are the lives like
of those who try to do it for a living? This summer Peter Henry worked with
people who farm community backyards to provide food for land-lenders, CSA
subscribers, volunteers and the farmers themselves. This creative new form of
agriculture has the potential to reshape the way people think about urban
land-use, monetary exchange and consumer culture.
Refreshments will be served.
(PLEASE NOTE: The presentation of research by Doug Rice has been postponed until Spring Semester.)
