Top Sprouts! Enabling urban agriculture through rooftop greenhouses

“Eat it to save it” is a growing movement led by the Slow Food USA Organization’s Ark of Taste Committee. It is an effort to save regional food systems by showing how we can support biodiversity and sustainably-produced foods by EATING them. (http://www.eatittosaveit.com/Welcome.html)

We can all do our part as consumer activists to promote and support responsibly-made and sourced foods. There are a number of local businesses working hard to do the right thing: making and selling quality products that are good for the people and planet.

Please join the next Agrowcity event to meet some of our local heroes and see how you can vote with your dollar!

Top Sprouts would like to invite you to Agrowcity’s first event, The Sustainable Urban Agriculture Forum, hosted at Suffolk University. Join us to learn about the work of local non-profit organizations and how they promote and practice sustainable urban agriculture (UA) in the Boston area. Topics of discussion include the current state and challenges of UA, development of UA in Boston and beyond, and what you can do to make a difference. Come meet like-minded individuals and see how you can take action in your school or local community!
