During the past seven years, Sole Food Street Farms--now North America's largest urban farm project--has transformed acres of vacant and contaminated urban land into street farms that grow artisan-quality fruits and vegetables.

Throughout, he also weaves his philosophy and insights about food and farming, as well as the fundamentals ...
