While backyard vegetable gardening is the norm for those who want to pursue this interest, I would love to see support for rooftop gardening, inside gardening and intensive gardening possibilities. Many of our current issues with healthier lifestyles could be enhanced if there was even modestly more interest in having fresh foods available from local or personally grown food.

There are many fascinating technologies being developed that make these types of micro-farming efforts realistic and yield worthwhile. It would be great to have even a fledgling initiative to get this rolling in our area.
