Urban farming is key in the reclamation of an Earthand ecology-based value system, and it plays an important role: We need urban food production, communities
growing food in an urban environment. But with a community food system, neighborhood stakeholders are the
ones growing that food, moving it around, and in control of land tenure or wherever soil-, food-, and Earthbased materials are being grown. Basically we are talking
about sovereignty, about having land and water rights.
