Here’s a print depicting a man who is possibly the most influential figure in Urban Agriculture, Will Allen of Growing Power out of Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
Allen’s been leading the charge on issues like reclaiming abandoned or blighted land, reviving industry, creating jobs, training new generations of young city farmers, reinvigorating urban spaces, composting, teaching school kids about where food comes from, and generally inspiring us all to live lives of purpose and meaning around our food.
More to come in the final essay but meantime — thanks Will Allen!
Purchase the print in my Etsy Shop Lady Virginia Vintage.
