This week our friend and consultant Mark Andrew Gravel, of the Good Farm Movement, posted a compelling interview with Will Allen. Allen is the founder and director of Growing Power, a nonprofit based in Milwaukee, Wisconsin that works to provide solutions to food access issues. Their two acre farm provides members of the community with an intimate education about the process of growing your own food.
Below, Allen explains his work and vision for a sustainable local food system that directly involves the community. Allen was the recent recipient of a prestigious MacArthur fellowship grant which will provide his organization with funds to further promote the importance of urban agriculture and good food for all.
