It's just one of those incredible weeks where all the cool stuff seems to be profiled at once!
-In Thailand gardeners have taken to rooftops to cultivate edible algae, spirulina, which can be a viable sources of protein. This is the first I’ve heard of the practice, I hope it takes off.
-Want a more high tech way of farming? How about using robotics in urban agriculture? Students in India are experimenting with ways for robots to do the work...and cheaply!
-For the past few years I have covered how folks in North America are utilizing urban agriculture to help newcomers integrate into their new homes. It's nice to see other countries, in this case Israel, is doing the same thing. Master’s thesis, anyone?
-This building in Tokyo, which I mentioned a
couple of weeks ago, is trying several exciting urban agriculture
technologies...all at one time. These pictures really make the concepts come alive and make you wonder how long before someone in North America gives this a try.
-Australia definitely wins this week’s “We try hardest award” with their $46.5 million dollar school kitchen garden plan which will fund 800 schools! Congrats!!!
-And lastly the urban agriculture movement in the Netherlands looks like it might get a huge boost. Nearly two dozen developers expressed interest in turning a downtown office building, with two floors available, into an urban agriculture hub.
