Farmin' in the Hood

Farmin’ in the Hood

What started as an experiment has become a social movement. Words like fish farming, chicken coop and alternative energy don’t normally evoke an image of the inner city. The Urban Farming Guys are changing all of that by working from the inside out to build a united community, improve education, create jobs and lower crime in the inner city of Kansas City.

An Accidental Activist

“So many of us have good ideas for helping the world. But we tuck our ideas away. I did. I’d tell myself that if the idea were any good someone else would have already done it. That I’m not capable of making a difference. I’d sit on my ideas, get on with my ‘life,’ and then feel angry at the world because the problems I cared about didn’t get solved. I had that fear of going first. Then I took my first hapless step into what I call accidental activism. In 2006, I started a project where I lived as environmentally as possible for a year — with my little family, on the ninth floor of an apartment building in the middle of New York City — to attract attention to the world’s environmental, economic, and quality of life crises. I had no experience as an activist. Yet suddenly my project caught fire.” { read more }
