Go Green Interview

David Tracey — Wed, 26 Aug 2009 21:38:14 +0000

The VanGoGreen site has posted an author interview with me for the urban agriculture series I did on a Tyee fellowship. Questions are from Robert Oimet, the ace sound/vid man who put together CBC3.

Check out the VanGoGreen site here.

Even if you aren’t interested in our food future, or are too stretched to get through the entire 11:08 chat, check out the first 15 seconds. The jaunty intro music is worth a listen. I want a band like that to follow me everywhere.

Cam Macdonald wanted to do right by the planet when he went looking for a new vocation last year. His search took him right back to the farm. But he didn’t really come from an agricultural background, unless you count his indoor adventures with a certain herb. And his “farm” ended up being right in Vancouver, on someone else’s lawn. This is the second podcast in the Can Urban Agriculture Save the World? series.

Now Hear This…(new podcast series)

We’re up and running…well not really running. But standing, and talking, to all kinds of lively people for a podcast series out to answer a simple question:

Can Urban Agriculture Save the World?

I’m doing it together with famed compost aficionado Spring Gillard, author of Diary of a Compost Hotline Operator, Edible Essays on City Farming.

Hope you like the first one…we’re still just feeling our way around, cautiously, in this case, as we’re on a roof. It’s in downtown Vancouver, where we meet a guy growing tons of food, when he can harvest it before the punk crows and roof rats show up.
