Urban Farming: Sustainable City Living in Your Backyard, in Your Community, and in the World - Softcover
Synopsis
It doesn't take a farm to have the heart of a farmer. Now, due to a burgeoning sustainable-living movement, you don't have to own acreage to fulfill your dream of raising your own food. Hobby Farms Urban Farming, from Hobby Farm Press and the same people who bring you Hobby Farms and Hobby Farm Home magazine, will walk every city and suburban dweller down the path of self sustainability. Urban Farming will introduce readers to the concepts of gardening and farming from a high-rise apartment, participating in a community garden, vertical farming, and converting terraces and other small city spaces into fruitful, vegetableful real estate. This comprehensive volume will answer every up and coming urban farmer's questions about how, what, where and why--a new green book for the dedicated citizen seeking to reduce his carbon footprint and grocery bill.Winner of the 2012 Benjamin Franklin Award in Home & Garden from the Independent Book Publishers Association (IBPA).

Fox lives with his family in New Jersey, where he is a passionate gardener and sometime urban farmer.
Review
...this book looks like a textbook and reads like a novel.... [T]the information in this book is spot-on, presented beautifully, and truly offers "something for everyone" in a way that's not overwhelming but still truly helpful. If I were to teach a class on urban farming...this is the book I'd use. - Pattie Baker, foodshedplanet.com
"...a new encyclopedic guide to urban food growing. It contains practical lists of how to build urban gardens as well as growing advice." - Jennifer Cockrall-King, Food and the City: Urban Agriculture and the New Food Revolution.
