NEW BOOK The Urban Farmer Growing Food for Profit on Leased and Borrowed Land
by Curtis Stone New Society Publishers​

https://www.newsociety.com/Books/U/The-Urban-Farmer

There are 40 million acres of lawns in North America. In their current form,
these unproductive expanses of grass represent a significant financial and
environmental cost. However, viewed through a different lens, they can also
be seen as a tremendous source of opportunity. Access to land is a major
barrier for many people who want to enter the agricultural sector, and urban
and suburban yards have huge potential for would-be farmers wanting to become
part of this growing movement.

The Urban Farmer is a comprehensive, hands-on, practical manual to help you
learn the techniques and business strategies you need to make a good living
growing high-yield, high-value crops right in your own backyard (or someone
else's). Major benefits include:

Low capital investment and overhead costs
Reduced need for expensive infrastructure
Easy access to markets.
Growing food in the city means that fresh crops may travel only a few blocks
from field to table, making this innovative approach the next logical step in
the local food movement. Based on a scalable, easily reproduced business
model, The Urban Farmer is your complete guide to minimizing risk and
maximizing profit by using intensive production in small leased or borrowed
spaces.
