Edible Estates: Attack on the Front Lawn, 2nd Edition at WNYC | The Jerome L. Greene Performance Space

On April 8th WNYC | The Jerome L. Greene Performance Space and Metropolis Books presented a rousing and inspiring panel moderated by the inimitable Leonard Lopate with Fritz Haeg (artist, designer and radical gardener), Will Allen (MacArthur Fellow, founder of Growing Power and friend of Michelle Obama), Scott M. Stringer (Manhattan's Borough President and the force behind FoodNYC: A Blueprint for a Sustainable Food System), and Annie Novak (a real life urban farmer at Eagle Street Rooftop Farms in Greenpoint Brooklyn and founder of Growing Chefs).
Book author and social activist / artist Fritz Haeg.

Book author and social activist / artist Fritz Haeg.

The conversation touched on the challenges of growing food in the city today (it's all about the soil!), to the historical implications of urban farming (not even the Romans were able to really figure it out!).
