GMEN-2014 Atlanta Town Hall:21st Century Farming-Urban

A distinguished list of speakers and
panelists will discuss issues pertinent to 21st century farming, as well as the general trends in farming in the future. The main topic on the agenda will be: Urban Farming. 
The incidence of urban farming has increased dramatically over the past couple of
years as people have

become more in-tuned with the environment. The issue is relevant because the

world’s population is quickly surpassing the available food (and clean water)

supply.  Currently, there are 185 million hungry people in the

world.  Fifty million of them reside within U.S. borders.  Since over half of the

world’s hungry reside in urban areas, urban farming is seen as a way to meet the demand for food in these areas.
