Interviews with Jac - audio files. Jac Smit, the 'Father of Urban Agriculture' is the pioneer who virtually created the concept of urban agriculture. In a 2009 interview with Franz Jaggar, Jac recounts his first-hand experiences. Segment #1: Jac and Urban Agriculture - The Beginnings "Urban Agriculture" grew out of Jac's term paper at Harvard University. Then, while working in India for the Ford Foundation, Jac had a chance to put his ideas into practice even while the concept of growing food in city gardens and plots was virtually unheard of. Length 4:56. Segment #2: From Backyard 'Farmer' to Harvard Jac explains how he was 'farming' in third grade, and that interest drove him through high school, service in the Korean War, and into graduate school at Harvard University. Length 3:25. See more here: http://www.cityfarmer.info -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
