FoodCycles inspiration, Will Allen of Growing Power Inc was featured on CNN in the US. Will founded Growing Power in Milwaukee, Wisconsin and now shares his knowledge with people from all over the country (and Canadians too, how else do you think FoodCycles got started). Growing Power is the last city farm in Milwaukee with 14 greenhouses, chickens, goats, turkeys and fish. Will Allen has even been invited to the White House by Michelle Obama.
As always, FoodCycles salutes the work of Will Allen and his fantastic, hard working, killer team down south (including Katie, Steve, Julia, Nick, Jay, Rick, Colleen, Erika, Loretta, Jordan, Tasha, Sarah, Ana, Chow, Jare, Mao and Brenda and whoever else we missed). We’re hoping to come visit again soon one of these days somehow.

I liked the posting of the CNN video piece on Will Allen. I hope you notices that part of his approach was to reach out to inter-faith groups or possibly create inter-faith groups that could come up with the resources and volunteers to help ensure the sustainable development of greenhouse projects. This is a model that could definitely work in Toronto.
