Urban Farming (2016)

You are here: Home / Archive / Feature Stories / Urban Farming (2016)
Published: October 2, 2016 by VPR Producer

Urban gardens are popping up all over the country, and they’ve provided “food desert” communities with fresh fruits and vegetables for their residents’ tables as well as taught urban dwellers to put abandoned plots of land to good use. But have you ever heard of an “urban farm”? Our guests talk about both of these projects and describe why they provide hope and employment for people in need as well as educational opportunities to students and residents.


Guest Information:

  • Michael Ableman, co-founder and director of Sole Food Street Farms in Vancouver, BC, and author of the book, Street Farm: Growing food, jobs and hope on the urban frontier.
  • Deirdre Bradley-Turner, director of Community Service and Service Learning at Emmanuel College, Boston, which is part of the Mission and Ministry Office at the college.
