It is a story of recovery, of land and food, of people, and of the power of farming and nourishing others as a way to heal our world and ourselves. During the past seven years, Sole Food Street Farms--now North America's largest urban farm project--has transformed acres of vacant and contaminated urban land into street farms that grow artisan-quality fruits and vegetables. By providing jobs, agricultural training, and inclusion in a community of farmers and food lovers, the Sole Food project has empowered dozens of individuals with limited resources who are managing addiction and chronic mental health problems. Sole Food's mission is to encourage small farms in every urban neighborhood so that good food can be accessible to all, and to do so in a manner that allows everyone to participate in the process. In Street Farm, author-photographer-farmer Michael Ableman chronicles the challenges, growth, and success of this groundbreaking project and presents compelling portraits of the neighborhood residents-turned-farmers whose lives have been touched by it. Throughout, he also weaves his philosophy and insights about food and farming, as well as the fundamentals that are the underpinnings of success for both rural farms and urban farms. Street Farm will inspire individuals and communities everywhere by providing a clear vision for combining innovative farming methods with concrete social goals, all of which aim to create healthier and more resilient communities."-- Amazon.com.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Ewa Beach P/S Library Adult Nonfiction 338.10971 Ab Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hawaii State Library Business, Science & Technology 338.10971 Ab Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kahuku P/S Library Adult Nonfiction 338.10971 Ab Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kihei Public Library Adult Nonfiction 338.10971 Ab Checked In Add Copy to MyList Makawao Public Library Adult Nonfiction 338.10971 Ab Checked In Add Copy to MyList
