Watch this very informative video and see how Ottawa Canada is leading the way in modern urban agriculture. Urban areas have used up agricultural land to house more of the world’s population, and most food purchased has traveled an average distance of 1500 to 2500 miles to get to your grocery store. Watch how one man took on the issue of local sustainable food supplies by creating a CSA out of people’s backyard gardens. Other initiatives include roof-top garden boxes on top of buildings.
