Not all agriculture is out in the country!  A rich collection of opportunities exist for sustainable farming in non-rural environments, from a barge off of New York City to a rooftop garden supplying a downtown Chicago restaurant, to an entrepreneur contracting with suburban homeowners to farm in their front yards.  Videos, PowerPoint presentations and other online resources found here tell the stories of non-traditional sustainable farming in cities and towns, and will broaden your horizons about your own farming possibilities.
