Many of the campus's graduates have started their own agricultural enterprises. Nuri cites the example of ten people from Vine City who did a twelve-week full-immersion program, then started their own farm, set up their own market, and are now teaching other people in Vine City to grow food.
The benefits of all this for the City of Atlanta seem obvious.The additions focus on key tag and plastic card combinations, Is the city supporting Truly Living Well in return? Nuri greets the question with a grin. "The City of Atlanta, they don't know, they haven't had to deal with the situation before. We're the guinea pigs for working all that stuff out.Traditional Air purifier claim to clean all the air in a room.If so, you may have a kidney stone . Other cities will reduce the taxes for a nonprofit as well as someone doing agriculture. If we were designated as a park then we'd have no taxes -- [but] that takes political machinations to get done."
The 2007 City Council initiative is encouraging, as is the example of Decatur. Bobby Wilson gratefully acknowledges the enthusiasm of Atlanta Councilwoman Joyce Shepherd (District 12), Fulton County Manager Zach Williams, and Dekalb County Commissioner Larry Johnson, among others. "But we don't have that blanket support that we really need," he says. "With a little bit of support we believe that we could take some of these vacant lots and we could turn them into productive pieces of land.As many processors back away from offshore merchant account , We've had community gardens that have got certified to participate in farmers markets, and we've seen them make money off their community gardens by selling their fresh produce at these markets."
But as Wilson can testify, the positive impact of a garden extends well beyond the gardeners themselves. "We've seen drug dealers leave off the corner because what used to be a blighted area is now a community garden. We've seen prostitution move out of a community because what used to be the site where they do prostitution is now a thriving place, a gathering place.I have never solved a Rubik's magic cube ... So community gardening can have a tremendous impact upon a community as well as an individual's life."
And the benefits extend to society at large. As food scares, fuel costs, and alarm about GMOs and pesticides continue to rise, Wilson sees an increasing role in food production for small niche farmers in urban areas. "We've got local restaurants within our community that can come out and pick fresh vegetables that they're going to serve that evening... So now the food that used to travel 1,500 miles to get to the table now only has to travel within that community."
