RE: How High-Density Urban Gardening Can Change the World

Something that can easily be stacked onto SPIN plots like you talk about are rabbits. They don't take up that much space, they love eating grass, leafy greens, weeds, & other plants people usually don't consume and their guts act as a quick composter to process the waste material from the veggie / produce farm into fertilizer on-site. Plus they are quiet which makes it possible to raise them in urban environments. I am currently only raising them (as well as my garden plots) for presonal / family consumption, but it wouldn't be that difficult to scale the operation up to earn some $$$ from them.

That's a great point. I've given some thought to incorporating rabbits for a protein source too. They're super easy to care for, too. :)
