Urban agriculture is hitting the classroom. And we're not just talking about school gardens and farms, which are getting a lot of attention these days.

We're talking about a Chicago technical school and its new urban agriculture program. Daley College's West Side Technical Institute is working with the Chicago Botanic Garden to offer students six months of training in greenhouse agriculture, a three-month paid internship in the field, and lessons in distributing and selling a product. The program hopes to accept its first 15 students in January.

The people behind the program say the goal is to give students skills to grow their own food and feed nearby residents. They hope graduates will move on to do great things in urban agriculture, be it rooftop gardens, urban greenhouses, or urban landscaping.

Are you an Envirovore?

It's true what our moms said...we are what we eat. In fact, it's truer than they thought. What I eat doesn't just affect me anymore, it affects all of us.

Unfortunately, the story of food can sometimes be complicated. But envirovores help each other out...which is why this blog will be bringing you news, tips, and information about food and the environment every step of the way.
