Feed Your City Organization launched their nation-wide program on September 28 th, 2009 at Queens Park with a mission to build Urban Agriculture in Cities and provide people with sources of locally grown, organic food. The first step is to make space for propogation of heirloom seeds available where the people are. Starting January 30, 2010 The City of Toronto mandated that new building permits over 2000 sq ft must have a green roof. There is 5,000 Hectares of viable roof top space in the City of Toronto. How many tons of food can we grow with all these roofs? Feed Your City Organization is working with the Carrot Green Roof to prototype and research our innovative and efficient Rooftop Greenhouses for growing local food year round, storm water management, electricity generation, carbon sequestering and heirloom seed propogation. 1 Seed /Plant = 1 meal 1 meal = Has Approx. 100 seeds 100 seeds grow to feed 100 people for one day or 10,000 seeds 10,000 seeds grow to be 100,000lbs of food or 1,000,000 seeds We have received a $6500 in grants from the Carrot Cache to develop our curriculum and designs. Our initiatives and our product lines provide solutions for environmental rejuviniation. Feed Your City's integrated design including Geoproducts, heirloom seeds and lightweight greenhouse designs will fill out a depleted global seed pantry, create massive sources of local food production, jobs, clean the air, generate electricity and contribute to the new foundation of "real" economic growth. Our educational programs take an in depth look at the local food movement and inspire and allow people to grow their food close to home.
