The United Nations estimates (PDF)that nearly 10 billion people will live in cities by 2050. According to arecent publication by the Barilla Center for Food & Nutrition, urban eaters consume most of the food produced globally and maintain more resource-intensive diets including increased animal-source and processed foods rich in salt, sugar and fats. At the same time, many urban populations particularly in low-income areas and informal communities endure acute hunger and malnutrition as well as limited access to affordable, healthy food.

But there are countless ways that cities can feed themselves and create better linkages between rural and urban food systems. In Mexico City, the organization CultiCiudad built the Huerto Tlatelolco, an edible forest with 45 tree varieties, a seed bank and plots for biointensive gardening. In the United States, City Growers uses New York Citys urban farms as a learning laboratory for children to reconnect with nature. And in the Kalobeyei Settlement in northern Kenya, urban agriculture represents a tool for empowerment by improving food security, nutrition, and self-sufficiency among refugees.

"Agriculture and forestry in the city answer to a variety of urban development goals beyond the provision of green infrastructure and food, such as social inclusion, adaptation to climate change, poverty alleviation, urban water management and opportunities for the productive reuse of urban waste," says Henk de Zeeuw, senior adviser at the RUAF Foundation.

And thankfully, hundreds of entrepreneurs and organizations are using this opportunity to improve urban agriculture and satisfy the demands of an increasingly urban population. From high-tech indoor farms in France and Singapore to mobile apps connecting urban growers and eaters in India and the United States, Food Tank highlights 16 initiatives using tech, entrepreneurship and social innovation to change urban agriculture.

There are countless ways that cities can feed themselves and create better linkages between rural and urban food systems.

1.AeroFarms, Newark (United States)

AeroFarms builds and operates vertical indoor farms to enable local production at scale and increase the availability of safe and nutritious food. The company uses aeroponics to grow leafy greens without sun or soil in a fully controlled environment. The technology enables year-round production while, they say, using 95 percent less water than field farming, resulting in yields 400 times higher per square foot annually. Since its foundation in 2004, AeroFarms aims to disrupt conventional food supply chains by building farms along major distribution routes and in urban areas. The company also won multiple awards, including the 2018 Global SDG Award, for its environmentally responsible practices and leadership in agriculture.

2.Agricool, Paris (France)

Agricool is a start-up that grows strawberries in containers spread throughout urban areas. The company retrofits old, unused containers to accommodate both an LED-lights and aeroponics system making it possible to grow strawberries year-round. The Cooltainers are powered by clean energy and use 90 percent less water than conventional farming. Agricool also works on building a network of urban farmers through the Cooltivators training program, aiming to open up job opportunities for city residents to work in the agricultural sector. The start-up works on expanding operations to other cities, an effort made possible by the replicability of the containers design.

3.BIGH Farms, Brussels (Belgium)

BIGH (Building Integrated Greenhouses) Farms, a start-up based in Brussels, works on building a network of urban farms in Europe to promote the role urban agriculture can play in the circular economy. BIGHs designs integrate aquaponics with existing buildings to reduce a sites environmental impact. The first pilot above the historic Abattoir in Brussels city center includes a fish farm, a greenhouse and over 2,000 square meters of outdoor vegetable gardens. It started in 2018 producing microgreens, herbs, tomatoes and striped bass. BIGH Farms also partners with local businesses and growers to make sure the farms production is complementary to the existing food community.

4.Bites, Phoenix (United States)

Bites is a mobile platform working to help connect urban farmers, chefs and eaters in Phoenix through farm-to-table dining experiences. Eaters and chefs sign up and meet through the app to organize an in-home dining event. Chefs gather the ingredients from urban growers registered on the platform in an effort to promote local, small businesses. Bites was launched in 2017 by Roza Derfowsmakan, founder ofWarehouse Apps, to improve accessibility to farm-to-table experiences and support urban farmers. By using technology to build culinary communities, Bites aims to change consumer choices from shipped-in, trucked-in produce to locally sourced food involving people in the solution itself.

5.BitGrange, Multiple Locations (North America)

BitGrange is an urban farming tool and learning platform working to help educate children on food and agriculture. The BitGrange device, a hydroponics and internet of things-based system, produces edible plants with little water and energy. BitGranges software evaluates environmental variables in real-time and notifies growers through a smartphone app to take necessary actions, such as adding more water or plant food. Founded in 2015 according to its philosophy, Plant-Connect-Sync-Play, BitGrange aims to inspire youth to engage in farming by gamifying agriculture. The nano-farms design is available for download at BitGranges website for potential growers to 3D print the device in their own location.

Chefs gather the ingredients from urban growers registered on the platform in an effort to promote local, small businesses.

6.Bowery Farming, New York Metro Area (United States)

Bowery Farming, an indoor farming start-up, uses software and robotics to grow produce inside warehouses in and around cities. By controlling every aspect of the growing process, the start-up is able to produce leafy greens and herbs using a minimal amount of water and energy per square foot. The technology also makes it possible to grow customized products for chefs and restaurants, such as softer kale and more peppery arugula. Since its establishment in 2017, Bowery Farming is expanding operations beyond its New Jersey warehouse to build vertical farms in other cities and, ultimately, bring efficient food production closer to consumers.

7.Farmizen, Bangalore, Hyderabad and Surat (India)

Farmizen is a mobile-based platform renting farmland to city residents to grow locally grown, organic produce. The app allocates its users a 600 square foot mini-farm in a community nearby. Users can visit the farm anytime to grow and harvest chemical-free produce. Farmworkers look after the plots when the users return to the city, making a fixed and stable income up to three times more than that of conventional farming. The app is live in Bangalore, Hyderabad and Surat with 1,500 subscribers and 40 acres of land under cultivation. Farmizen was founded in 2017 by entrepreneurGitanjali Rajamani, driven by the need to create stable livelihoods for farmers and reconnect city-dwellers to agriculture and nature.

8.Fresh Direct, Abuja (Nigeria)

Fresh Direct is an impact-driven start-up using vertical farming and hydroponics to promote locally grown produce and the involvement of youth in agriculture. When young entrepreneur Angel Adelaja started engaging in eco-friendly farming, she faced multiple challenges with conventional farming practices, including access to land, water and technology. As a response, Adelaja founded Fresh Direct in 2014 to make urban agriculture more accessible to everyone, especially youth. Fresh Direct installs stackable container farms in the city, growing organic produce closer to the market. In the future, Adelaja aims to eradicate the notion among young professionals that agriculture is a line of work for the older generations.

9.Gotham Greens, multiple locations (United States)

Gotham Greens builds and operates data-driven, climate-controlled greenhouses in cities across the United States. The greenhouses, powered by wind and solar energy, use hydroponics to grow salad greens and herbs year-round using fewer resources than conventional farming. In addition to its goal of sustainable food production, Gotham Greens also partners with local organizations, schools, community gardens and businesses to support urban renewal and community development projects. Gotham Greens is also the company behind the countrys first commercial rooftop greenhouse, a partnership with Whole Foods Market to operate the greenhouse above its flagship store in Brooklyn, New York.

Over the long run, the company aims to replicate the aquaponics system to build urban farms in other cities, opening employment opportunities for youth and using agriculture as a means to make communities more self-sustaining.

11.InFarm, multiple locations (Europe)

Designed to combat the long distances food travels, the InFarms produce leafy greens and herbs using 95 percent less water than traditional farms and no pesticides. The technology, the company claims, can reduce food transportation up to 90 percent. In 2013, the company pioneered the modular system in restaurants, schools, hospitals and shopping centers. Operations have expanded to distribute portable farms in neighborhoods and supermarkets across Germany, Denmark, France and Switzerland. The expansion, AgFunder reports, can be attributed to InFarms decentralized, data-driven model.

The farms closed-loop system works with used coffee grounds collected from local businesses to turn residual flows into food.

12.Liv Up, So Paulo (Brazil)

A team of chefs and nutritionists prepares the meals, which are later deep frozen to maintain the foods integrity and extend its shelf life. Liv Up was founded in 2016 by a trio of young entrepreneurs driven by the lack of access to healthy foods in So Paulo. The start-up operates in seven municipalities of the metropolitan area, rotating its menu every two weeks.

Organic Food and Beverages Market Competitive Insights, Trends and Demand Growth 2019 to 2026 - Filmi Baba

Lots of folks have traditions they follow to ring in the New Year. Many revolve around food. A custom born out of the southern United States has taken root all over the countryincluding Oregon.

As the folklore goes, for luck and prosperity-- black-eyed peas should be the first food eaten on New Years Day. Its said each pea represents a coin and cooked greens, which are a common accompaniment, represent paper money.

The tradition may not be practiced by everybody, but its popular enough to impact grocery stores in the Willamette Valley. Andrea Pierce, Produce Manager at Sundance Natural Foods in Eugene, says theyre preparing accordingly.

In produce we cross merchandise dried black-eyed peas, because you cant get fresh ones right now organically-- which wed love to have. And also organic collard greens, because we have all organic produce.

Pierce is a transplant from Rhode Island but she says she heard of this New Year tradition out east too. She says if for no other reason, people should try it because black eyed peas are delicious.

Excerpt from:

New Year's Tradition Of Black Eyed Peas & Greens Not Just For Southerners Anymore - KLCC FM Public Radio

GrowNYC is cultivating a new generation of farmers and bringing diverse produce to communities across the city.

Christina Chan connects with her family through food.

As a first-generation Chinese-American, Chan searches for ways to embrace her Chinese heritage. She doesnt know much of the language and she doesnt hold the same traditional values of her parents. But she does share a mutual love for soup dumplings.

And a love for traditional Cantonese dishes. And a craving for simple dishes, like Chinese leafy greens steamed with oyster sauce. When she eats, shes connected to her roots.

Not only do we use food to show each other care and affection, but its the part of my culture that I can understand the most, she told NationSwell.

While her familys shared culture is a major part of her identity, its not the only one. She is also a farmer, which is part of why shes committed to eating local organic produce.

But Chan struggled to find organic versions of her favorite Chinese vegetables in New York. When walking through Chinatown or Jackson Heights, she couldnt find t organic versions of the vegetables she grew up eating. It felt like I had to choose between that part of myself or my culture, she said.

Chans struggle represents a bigger problem in American farming. The crops our country grows arent diverse, and its partly due to a lack of diverse farmers.

The 2017 USDA Census on Agriculture surveyed 2.7 million principal producers in the United States. Of the 2.7 million, only 16,798, or .7%, identified as Asian. 38,000, or 1.4%, identified as black or African American. At 2.6 million of the 2.7 total, white farmers made up a majority of the principal operators.

The statistics in Chans home state, New York, show a similar pattern 97% of farms belong to white men, and their average age is 57 years old. While a majority of owners are white, farmworkers are overwhelmingly Latino.

A system where over 90% of the people are white men is not a resilient system, Gabriela Pereyra, the Beginning Farmer Program manager at GrowNYC, told NationSwell. A system that is resilient, it must have diversity.

The lack of diversity impacts communities in all kinds of ways. It means individuals living in New York City, one of the worlds most diverse populations, dont always have access to fresh produce used in traditional recipes. It means young people dont have mentors in a potential career path. It means that communities are disconnected from farmers, and therefore, disconnected from their food.

So GrowNYC set out to narrow the diversity and age gap between farmworkers and farm owners. We needed a new generation to bring food to the city, Pereyra said.

The nonprofit knew there was a population of young, diverse farmworkers, but because many were immigrants, they lacked the knowledge to navigate the U.S. farm system and establish their own business, explained Pereyra.

In 2000, GrowNYC launched the New Farmer Development Project, a program to support Spanish-speaking farmers interested in starting their own agricultural business. A decade later, the program merged into whats now called FARMroots. FARMroots offers both technical assistance for established farmers and a Beginning Farmer Program, open to any farmer with less than 10 years of experience.

While any new farmer, regardless of background, can apply to the Beginning Farmer Program, the nonprofit is focused on cultivating a diverse group. This year, 40 people applied who immigrated from seven different countries and speak 12 different languages.

The program is structured as an eight-week course where the 15 accepted farmers will learn every aspect of farming: Finances, land ownership, crop rotation, tractor driving, greenhouse management and land access are just a few theyll delve into.

After the course, GrowNYC pairs the novice farmers with an established farmer. Theyll spend 200 hours on the established farm and gain firsthand experience.

Were not only talking about farming. We are creating the new generation, Pereyra said. A new generation that speaks about diversity, equity, community.

Kama Doucoure is one of those farmers. After completing the Beginning Farmer Program in 2017, he launched his own farm this March.

Doucoure, who immigrated to the U.S. 12 years ago from Mali, Africa, had been farming since he was 6 years old, Pereyra said. But when he got to New York, he couldnt find an entry point into farming. Instead, he worked every single job you could imagine.

Meanwhile, his community, which is largely West African Muslim, didnt have the proper foods to celebrate religious holidays. Doucoure was connected with FARMroots, where he completed the Beginning Farmer Program. After, Pereya worked with him to find the right land and location for his farm he now works in Saugerties, New York, a two and a half-hour drive from Manhattan.

As FARMroots developed its program, Chan was on a winding path to discovering her career in farming. She had initially planned to attend vet school but pivoted and earned a masters in conservation science. She quickly learned that fieldwork wasnt a long-term career route for her, so she went to London to volunteer at an urban farm. And thats when I kind of put all of these pieces of the puzzle together, she said.

Chan loved being outdoors. She loved eating. And farming was at the crossroads.

She came back to the U.S. and started an apprenticeship in Hudson Valley. She then worked as a farmer and educator at Randalls Island Park Alliance. There she met her boss, an alumnus from the FARMroots program, who suggested she apply.

They really helped take what is the fuzzy farm dream and bring it into focus, Chan said.

Chan still works on an urban farm in the city, and once or twice a week she takes the subway to Astoria, Queens, where she grows produce for a local chef in a backyard.

In raised beds, shes grown four types of basil and Korean perilla. Along the entryway to the garden, Chan points out a Thai eggplant and bright red chili peppers.

Really this year zero for me is to kind of try varieties and figure out what grows well here, whats productive, what tastes good and just kind of refine my skills with certain things, she said. She plans to spend 2020 on a production farm or completing another apprenticeship.

Her long-term goal is to feed the community. She plans to find three to five acres of farmland in Hudson Valley where she can bring produce to the Asian communities across New York City.

Theres not really many people selling the types of vegetables that are things I would see in my household growing up, she said. So shes taking the first step to change that.

Chan has the group of farmers she worked with in London to thank, as well as her boss on Randalls Island.

But she also has GrowNYC to thank, too. Chan and Pereyra have stayed connected as Chan begins the hunt for farmland.

Youre not doing it for you, Chan said. Youre doing it for the community.

Im sure most vegans would agree that one of the most important things we look at when planning a trip is where we can eat. Luckily, the world of vegan eating has certainly expanded within the past few years and the Internet, with all of its pictures and reviews, has definitely made it easier to scope out the best places for vegan-fare in advance.

While the amount of vegan eateries around the nation is growing, there are still some cities that stand out when it comes to the number of veg-friendly and vegan restaurants available. For this reason, I have put together the top ten cities in the United States for vegans to get their nom on.

New York City, New York

Veg-Friendly Restaurants:406

Vegan Restaurants: 77

The vegan options are plentiful in the Big Apple! New York City has a long history of international immigration. In fact, over 37% of the population was born in another country. This diversity could be one reason why NYC has such an abundance and variety of vegan options to choose from.

Highlights:

Los Angeles, California

Veg-Friendly Restaurants: 275

Vegan Restaurants: 54

Los Angeles home to Hollywood, palm trees, and a plethora of vegan options. Los Angeles really is a vegans paradise! Like New York City, Los Angeles boasts a diverse community with varying cultures and diets. Not only are there a variety of cuisines to choose from when it comes to vegan eats, but there are also an ever-growing amount of vegan food festivals and street fairs that happen in LA some of them weekly! With so many different options and opportunities for vegan food, theres sure to be something for everyone to enjoy.

Highlights:

Portland, Oregon

Veg-Friendly Restaurants: 274

Vegan Restaurants: 49

Portland is an exciting and unique city known for embracing the weird. Vegans should have no problem at all finding somewhere to eat in Portland. The food and beer options are plentiful and often lean towards one-of-a-kind food experiences versus those born of mass consumerism. Portland is also home to around 21 farmers markets, ripe with locally grown and organic produce.

Highlights:

Chicago, Illinois

Veg-Friendly Restaurants: 276

Vegan Restaurants: 33

Chicago is known for many things, including its interesting architecture, jazz music, and plentiful museums. The Windy City also has a diverse dining scene and vegans have definitely not been left out! Whether youre in the mood for comfort food, international cuisine, or raw vegan options, Chi-Town has got you covered! You can even try out some vegan deep dish pizza and decide for yourself which side of the New York vs Chicago-style pizza side youre on.

Highlights:

San Francisco, California

Veg-Friendly Restaurants: 208

Vegan Restaurants: 19

Theres more to San Francisco than fog, steep hills, and the Golden Gate Bridge. Like Portland, San Francisco has an abundance of organic produce.

Global Organic Food & Beverages 11. Market Perspective with Study of Leading Players and Revenue to Significant Growth Forecast by 2026 - CupMint

Dr Edward P Echlin

Dr Edward P Echlin, eco-theologian and organic gardener, died just before Christmas at the age of 89 years. We in the UK churches have lost a great advocate of "ecological conversion". The natural world has lost a dedicated friend.

I have known Edward and his wife Barbara since Christian Ecology Link (or CEL, now Green Christian) was founded in the early 1980s.

He spoke at conferences of the National Justice and Peace Network in the 1990s, and his firm promise that despite getting invitations to speak from around the world he would never fly was the first time I realised how serious the response to environmental crises needed to be.

In 2012, he ran a workshop at CEL's 30th anniversary conference in Bristol, arguing that small scale, biodiverse, organic food production not only preserves soil and stabilises climate but is also the most productive form of agriculture. That same year he helped Sisters of St Joseph of Peace and associates - gathered in London from the United States, Haiti, El Salvador and Britain - to explore their mission of Peace and Care for Creation.

He urged a move away from an oil-based lifestyle, undertaking gardening, and supporting local environmental initiatives such as farmers' markets. He presented a Hubbard squash plant from the Echlin's organic garden to the sisters. He was always generous in drawing attention to the unsung heroes who have put climate change on the agenda of the Christian churches in Britain, and paid warm tribute to Barbara, a great networker in building up the Green Christian movement.

Edward was critical of the obsession so many Christians have with 'inner journey' spiritualities and debates about church structures. He suggested that the Churches should focus much more on, and indeed have "a priceless contribution" to offer to, the Earth community in its struggle to mitigate climate change. We sometimes forget that we are the "prophetic presence of the living and risen Jesus Christ". He was a 'hands-on' kind of theologian. He wandered around allotments to discover the "precious wisdom" of allotment holders, and, indeed, to learn from the wisdom inherent in the whole soil community of plants and animals. He had enormous respect for the world's small growers and farmers, highlighting that their efforts feed millions throughout the world. It was rare to turn up to a meeting with Edward and Barbara and not be treated to tasty tomatoes or pears from their garden.

He was born on 15 January 1930 in Detroit, Michigan, USA. He entered the Society of Jesus in 1948 and remained a Jesuit for 25 years. In the early 1970s he lectured in England - at Ushaw College, Durham, and as Catholic Lecturer at the Anglican theological college at Lincoln. He was laicised and married Barbara in December 1974. Always interested in the environment, from the eighties onwards he focused all his efforts on relating Jesus Christ and the Earth. He saw rebuilding a mutually supportive relationship of humans with the Earth community, as the defining issue of the twenty-first century. He wrote three books: Earth Spirituality, Jesus at the Centre (1999/2002), The Cosmic Circle, Jesus and Ecology (2004), and Climate and Christ, A Prophetic Alternative (2010). He also wrote numerous articles in both academic and popular journals and magazines, and had a chapter in the 2017 book Reclaiming the Common Good - How Christians can help rebuild our broken world.

Earth Spirituality: Jesus at the Centre traced Edward's own life journey - from the starting point of his childhood experiences in the Great Lakes of North America, through years with the Jesuits, to his life in Southern England as an ecological theologian and organic gardener. He presented wonderful images of a childhood in Michigan which greatly influenced his concern for the natural world. As a boy, he remembered seeing the stumps of trees everywhere. Some were as tall as a boy because lumberjacks, working on snowshoes and wielding two-man saws, worked despite the thick snow which carpeted the State between November and March. "As I grew up, homes for car workers were replacing the cleared farms which had replaced the woods," he said, and he was alerted to other environmental issues too. The passenger pigeon was extinct by 1914 but there were elderly people around during his boyhood who "remembered them whistling through the sky in their millions." He says that, "we wondered as boys if it could happen to other birds, to animals, to us too".

His "Jesuit years" reinforced the embracing of a spirituality which encompassed God's Earth. "Ignatius tells us to thank other creatures, the angels, saints, heavenly bodies, and all soil creatures, including those that move in the waters, that, despite our sin, they support us, remain in relationships with us, and do not destroy us." He was a great admirer of theologian Teilhard de Chardin and took the view that good is in all things and all things in God. Edward lived in England with Barbara from the 1970s, first in Ripon and then in East Sussex. In East Sussex he insulated the walls and the roof to save energy, installing solar tubes which heat water about half the year, and purchased bicycles.

He talked of the desirability of liberating theology from academic confinement and condemned the failure of Church leaders and theologians "to provide a theologically compelling Earth spirituality or to bite the sharp bullet of sustainable living". He drew attention to the cosmological dimensions in the birth and death of Jesus - the star, the earthquake and the descent of unusual darkness on the earth. Echlin painted a picture of the environment that Jesus lived in and linked references to the natural world in the everyday life and parables of Jesus. He felt Jesus offers a reconciliation which encompasses a wounded planet, saying, "Reconciliation in Jesus of Nazareth, risen and glorified, includes all families and all creatures, the entire earth community, past, present and future".

Edward felt the sensitivity of Jesus to nature is particularly vivid in his parables, which are "derived from living close to the natural world and from familiarity with the Jewish scriptures and their metaphors of cosmic order, drawn from predictably changing seasons, reliable skies and winds, seas which did not transgress the limits of the strand, birds which migrated seasonally in Autumn and on the Spring thermals". He felt keenly the loss of Sunday - the Sabbath - as a special day of prayer and community in a society where people are more likely to spend the day working and shopping. As for sacraments, he felt Baptism reminds us of the sacredness of water and we must respect and heal seas, beaches and all local aquifers with their teeming life. Preparation for Confirmation could include a commitment to consume sustainably and locally, to share transport, to restore ruined local habitats. We should use local organic bread and wine at our Eucharists - "bread which Earth has given and human hands have made" and "fruit of the vine and work of human hands." Penitential prayers should include personal and structural ecological sin. Liturgies should be Earth-inclusive. He had a passion for fruit trees and in the past year inspired the planting of 24 apple and pear trees, in church grounds, schools and individual gardens. In his view, "this beautiful practice symbolises that Christians are water and tree people, an Earth-renewing presence wherever they live and worship".

I picture Edward in the Holy Land's Garden of Gethsemane, which he visited several times before giving up air travel, where he "was moved by the biodiversity and the sheep grazing peacefully there with birds resting on their back."

Dr Edward P Echlin was Chair Emeritus of Catholic Concern for Animals, Honorary Research Fellow in Theology, University College of Trinity & All Saints, Leeds and Visiting Scholar at Sarum College, Salisbury. He was a member of Green Christian, Garden Organic, Soil Association and other environmental NGOs. He died on 23 December. His funeral is at 12.30pm on Wednesday 15 January - which would have been his 90th birthday. The funeral Mass is at his local church, St Martha's RC Church, Cooden Sea Road, Bexhill. He will be buried in Bexhill Cemetery, and his grave will be located in a beautiful part of the cemetery with countryside around, and the South Downs and Beachy Head visible in the distance.
