    In a nice bit of synchronicity, the current feature in Environmental Building News is titled "Growing Food Locally: Integrating Agriculture Into the Built Environment." It's online at http://www.buildinggreen.com/auth/article.cfm/2009/1/29/Growing-Food-Locally-Integrating-Agriculture-Into-the-Built-Environment/ (or http://tinyurl.com/afrwa6 )

    Environmental Building News is read by Architects, Engineers, Specifiers, and other building industry professionals - an indication that the incredibly-local-food movement is gaining traction in both the popular and professional arenas.
