Growing food in the city is thankfully no longer an alien concept, with huge nationwide waiting lists for allotments, guerilla gardener escapades and tomatoes springing off balconies and windowboxes in abundance.
This is to be celebrated in all forms, and we at the ecospot were delighted to find a link to the MetaboliCity site recently.
The little description on the site is short and sweet, but sums up the aims wonderfully:
'A vision of a city that metabolizes its resources and waste to supply its inhabitants with all the nourishment they need and more'
Who can possibly argue which this as a mission statement (regardless of whether you agree with 'mission statements' or not)?
And in celebration of the current London Design Festival, you can do a little tour of some of the urban growing sites - have a look here for more info on times and locations.
