How to feed 10,000 people from food grown on 3 acres in the city
https://www.splendidtable.org/story/how-to-feed-10000-people-from-food-grown-on-3-acres-in-the-city

Will Allen <http://www.growingpower.org/> is proving that city farms work
-- big time. He’s not conjuring up theories; everything that he is teaching
in cities across the country he learned over the course of 20 years with
his hands in the dirt, a little money in his pocket and a survivalist’s
smarts for innovating.

He grows food in ways that few have seen before -- and he grows it
sustainably. Allen’s 3-acre farm sits in the poorest part of Milwaukee and
now feeds 10,000 people a year. It brought him a MacArthur grant and his
neighbors good, healthy eating. The story is in Allen’s book *The Good Food
Revolution: Growing Healthy Food, People and Communities
<http://www.amazon.com/Good-Food-Revolution-Growing-Communities/dp/1592407102/?tag=tsplent-20>*.
