Description:

Strategies and techniques for making a living with intensive food production in small spaces 
There are 40 million acres of lawns in North America. In their current form, these unproductive expanses of grass represent a significant financial and environmental cost. However, viewed through a different lens, they can also be seen as a tremendous source of opportunity. Access to land is a major barrier for many people who want to enter the agricultural sector, and urban and suburban yards have huge potential for would-be farmers wanting to become part of this growing movement. 
The Urban Farmer      is a comprehensive, hands-on, practical manual to help you learn the techniques and business strategies you need to make a good living growing high-yield, high-value crops right in your own backyard (or someone else's). Major benefits include: 

[*]          Low capital investment and overhead costs
[*]          Reduced need for expensive infrastructure
[*]          Easy access to markets.     

Growing food in the city means that fresh crops may travel only a few blocks from field to table, making this innovative approach the next logical step in the local food movement. Based on a scalable, easily reproduced business model,      The Urban Farmer      is your complete guide to minimizing risk and maximizing profit by using intensive production in small leased or borrowed spaces.
