“He has worked on agricultural development projects with the Rodale Institute in Senegal and Partners in Health in Haiti, as well as done short-term consultancies in Bangladesh, Nepal, Mali, and Mexico”

With his experience in urban agriculture, I think it is very interesting to hear his insights about the differences of urban agriculture in the countries that he visited in the past and what we can learn from them so that we can apply it to our own country.

Yes we all could certainly learn from the African urban agriculture, we’re well behind in comparison to these guys.

Their model is one that we can take some elements from for sure and integrate these principals into our own urban gardens within our cities.

“Urban agriculture” really sounds like a brilliant idea, considering one can hardly find a spot in city to grow something. This way people could benefit a little amount of fresh air in the city.

As food prices go up and up, things like urban gardening and square foot gardening will be of increased interest to people. This post vaguely reminds me of a relatively new (I think it started in 2000) organization called Engineers Without Borders, that would somewhat fit into what Nathan is doing. It was neat to hear that the African content is somewhat ahead of the US when it comes to urban agriculture.

I absolutely LOVE the idea urban gardening. There are some people here in Detroit that are starting to do this in the areas of the city that are vacant. It just seems like such a great use of the space. I hope this type of thing catches on in other urban areas.

Good for you Mr. McClintock, keep up the good work

The way I look at, some countries are more involved with their lands and their agriculture than we do in U.S. It seems a good amount of people take agriculture and sell it, and some countries take agriculture and live it to the fullest. R. Cristi Author of Blonde Joke book!
