Public Produce

How can public access to fresh produce improve urban dwellers’ quality of life? On this episode of Locus Focus we look at governmental and non-governmental efforts in communities across North America to transform pieces of public land into edible gardens and orchards. Darrin Nordahl, author of Public Produce: Cultivating Our Parks, Plazas, and Streets for Healthier Cities, discusses why food foraging and cultivation in cities is viable and productive and whether it can actually help alleviate food insecurity.
