I thought that ST listers might be interested in the following:
1. On the CommunityFood listserv (Tufts Univ.), a planning student in Wisconsin requested examples of policies that support urban agriculture, which yielded the following large and very interesting report <http://thoughtsonthetable.wordpress.com/2008/05/07/vitalizing-the-vacant/>Vitalizing the Vacant by NYU student Annie Myers, on 5 urban farms at sites across the country. The 37 page pdf is linked at the end of her post. 2. Following up on the recent "urban chickens" thread, it appears that Durham NC this week adopted an ordinance allowing homeowners to keep chickens.
