The great challenge of the 21st century is to raise people everywhere to a decent standard of living while preserving as much of the rest of life as possible.
An important part of a sustainable food system is the food people grow themselves. This section will cover urban gardens in Northeast Ohio, as well as organic techniques to make your garden as green and healthy as possible. (Note that landscaping issues, such as lawn care and backyard habitats, are in the Land section of the site.)

who pushed Northeast Ohio to think strategically about regionalism and sustainability.
