EarthBoxes Against Hunger

The Leonard Lopate Show | May 10, 2010

The EarthBox is a low-input food-growing system that's highly water-efficient and can grow food virtually anywhere, from NYC rooftops to Kakuma refugee camp in Kenya. The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations is using the EarthBox as part of its strategy for achieving food security for all. Eric Mayer is with the FAO of the UN.

Event:
New York City's First International EarthBox Planting Day will take place in Union Square Park (East 17th Street) on Sunday April 15th. For more information, go to The Growing Connection website.
