Natural Systems Agriculture
From The Land institute:
"Our strategy now is to collaborate with public institutions in order to direct more research in the direction of Natural Systems Agriculture. We are seeking funds to construct and operate a research center devoted to Natural Systems Agriculture and to underwrite scientists elsewhere who will engage with us in such research. We estimate the research cost to be $5 million a year for 25 years, which is a small fraction of one percent of the nation's annual agricultural research investment."
We hope to apply some of Wes Jackson's work and principles on Natural Systems Agriculture for Chicago and other Urban Agriculture project areas. --See OzoneFarmCloudScape
