2010: Seattle's "Year of Urban Agriculture"

Did you know that 2010 is officially the Year of Urban Agriculture in Seattle?

This reinforces the 2008 Local Food Action Initiative adopted by the city council to promote local and regional food sustainability and security. Look for the city to make growing food on planting strips and city land easier. Here are some places to find out more:

• The 2010: Year of Urban Agriculture website


• Councilmember Richard Conlin's page about the Local Food Action Initiative


• The text of the 2008 Local Food Action resolution (#31019)

I know a lot of Wedgwoodians who will be doing their part to give this effort a boost!
