Two urban agriculture firsts for new york city + Urban horticulture around the world

It's been a while since we did a global urban agriculture crawl...First up is Morocco.

Future Megacities - Urban Agriculture in Casablanca, Morocco from crossdocs on Vimeo.


Next is Lima, Peru where city officials are betting on urban agriculture to help stem malnourition and poverty.

Last up is Bangalore, India. This article has two amazing things going for it: It briefly details urban agriculture in Bangalore and introduces us (or at least me) to a much richer way to describe "urban agriculture". I'll have to start using terms like "urban horticulture" and "terrace gardening" more often. Secondly, look at that picture!

-I am always on the look out for the project which can be crowned the biggest, best or first green roof or biggest green wall. The title of first rooftop farm on a housing project goes to New York City.
How about the oldest rooftop farm? For now the title stay in New York City as well!
