On April 8th,
2010, Fritz Haeg and Metropolis Books will celebrate the release of the new
edition of Edible Estates: Attack on the
Front Lawn with a lively conversation at WNYC's The Greene Space exploring
the possibilities for publicly growing food in the most unlikely of places-on
the streets where we live, in the middle of our cities, and in particular, in
New York City.
Participants
in the conversation moderated by Leonard
Lopate will include the most prominent national and local voices on the
subject, including Fritz Haeg,
artist, designer, radical gardener, and author of Edible Estates; Will Allen,
contributor to the book, and MacArthur fellowship winning founder of
Milwaukee-based Growing Power; Annie Novak, co-founder of Rooftop Farms
in Greenpoint; and Scott Stringer,
Manhattan Borough President and the force behind "FoodNYC: A Blueprint for a
Sustainable Food System," the most comprehensive effort to date to unify and
reform New York City's policies regarding the production, distribution,
consumption, and disposal of food. Panelists will tell stories of projects,
gardens and urban farms that are already in the ground as provocative examples
of what New York,
and other cities, might look like in the future.
