NEW BOOK The Urban Farmer Growing Food for Profit on Leased and Borrowed
Land by Curtis Stone New Society Publishers​

https://www.newsociety.com/Books/U/The-Urban-Farmer

There are 40 million acres of lawns in North America. In their current
form, these unproductive expanses of grass represent a significant
financial and environmental cost. However, viewed through a different lens,
they can also be seen as a tremendous source of opportunity. Access to land
is a major barrier for many people who want to enter the agricultural
sector, and urban and suburban yards have huge potential for would-be
farmers wanting to become part of this growing movement.

The Urban Farmer is a comprehensive, hands-on, practical manual to help you
learn the techniques and business strategies you need to make a good living
growing high-yield, high-value crops right in your own backyard (or someone
else's). Major benefits include:

Low capital investment and overhead costs
Reduced need for expensive infrastructure
Easy access to markets.
Growing food in the city means that fresh crops may travel only a few
blocks from field to table, making this innovative approach the next
logical step in the local food movement. Based on a scalable, easily
reproduced business model, The Urban Farmer is your complete guide to
minimizing risk and maximizing profit by using intensive production in
small leased or borrowed spaces.
