Urban farming..why are we learning about urban farming in habitat..first we all should learn about it..the food needs we have, the chemicals used on food, the limited number of people growing food, the need for healthy food..all important. Where we build there are often food deserts..no supermarkets..thats right..can you believe it.

We made five community gardens in our neighborhood where we build.  we help to clean lots, we help to make playgrounds..because you cant build a nice house in a substandard neighborhood.

With that in mind we move ahead, changing neighborhoods, changing lives together…just the beginning..
