Video: GrowingPower.org Demonstrates the Power of Sustainable Gardening

If you've never heard of Will Allen, prepare to be informed and inspired! Will founded GrowingPower.org over 15 years ago to help people learn to grow their own food in urban areas, and was awarded the MacArthur Genius Award in 2008 for his work. Will's methods are sustainable, using aquaponics and other unique and holistic systems to grow fresh, organic foods, and his work serves as an example of how successful sustainable farming and gardening can be on a larger scale.

Here is a bit more info on GrowingPower.org:
Growing Power is a national nonprofit organization and land trust supporting people from diverse backgrounds, and the environments in which they live, by helping to provide equal access to healthy, high-quality, safe and affordable food for people in all communities. Growing Power implements this mission by providing hands-on training, on-the-ground demonstration, outreach and technical assistance through the development of Community Food Systems that help people grow, process, market and distribute food in a sustainable manner.

The video below gives a great overview of Allen's work and the Growing Power organization. For more information, also see the excellent and inspiring documentary, Fresh.
