Summary: What if Baltimore's vacant lots were transformed into half-acre farms, producing greens, onions, herbs, berries, honey and other fresh produce for residents and for the city's restaurants and markets? Urban farms are becoming increasingly popular in Baltimore and other cities. What does it take to run one, and could this be an option for revitalizing some abandoned areas and for reducing the number of "food deserts" in the city? Guests: Ted Rouse, chairman of Big City Farms; Beth Strommen, planner and environmental scientist, Baltimore City Office of Sustainability; and Anne Palmer, Eating for the Future program director, Johns Hopkins Center for a Livable Future.
