NLRtalks

We are looking at the emerging billion dollar industry that is Urban Farming in Chicago. While still small, it has the potential of reaching hundreds of millions in sales within a few years. How can this happen and what is preventing it?

We will begin a overview of Urban Farming, including who is involved, why is it important, and how it affects your life.

We have a look at Urban Farming as a overview, and present information for those who want to know more, enough news to excite the insiders, and interesting enough to attract first timers.

Today we talk with founder of Healthy Soil Compost Jonathon Scheffel about composting, bikes, and his goal of improving the green spaces of Chicago. As seen in Crain's, WCIU You & Me in the Morning, and DNAinfo. His work as a biker, picking up food scraps, and having them composted gives him a street level view of the needs of our city.

Nature's Little Recyclers, Chicago's Earthworm Composters, know Green Chicago from the ground up. Your host Ed Hubbard, will offer what we plan to talk about and how you can become involved. Here is the first show, and many more to come.We are NLRworms on FB, Twitter.
