"We Can Feed The World" / Plant Nutrition

6.7 Billion and rising … FAST!  There’s a lot of us to feed on this planet.

Urban Garden Magazine meets Gerald Garrison, a man with a plan to feed the planet.  But he’s no pipe-dreamer.  He claims that he has invented the technology to do it.  We find out who he is, what his grand master plan entails, and take a look at his inventions. Also in this issue, Michael Pollan examines how many calories you can buy for a dollar, and why junk food is so cheap.  We hear from nutrient guru, Lawrence Brooke, on organics, plant growth regulators, and plant vitamins. Ultimate feed formulas, fads and fallacies, DIY deep water culture … plus movies, music and much more.
