LostGears' Local Economy Journal

LostGears' Local Economy Journal | Local Economy in Action | Scoop.it

THIS WEEK: Neil Young on Steve Jobs' Vinyl Habit, Walmart's $1Billion Sustainability Strategy, Women And Public Transportation, Kazahkstan's Futuristic Subway System, The Case Against Fake Walkable, Fire-Escape Permaculture, and a lot more.


This is my collection of news, articles, interviews, videos, and other ideas that we've found related to Local Economy.  It's a wide swath cut into the topic as we cover everything from permaculture, small farms, gardening, energy, politics, transportation, infrastructure, and other elements that make up a community and how it works economically.  We put these here in one place after weeding through the chaff. We provide what's interesting and pertinent while excluding purely promotional materials. You should feel confident when you click on one of these links that it won't lead you through some spammy, scammy, adventure before you get to the heart of the matter.


I thank you for tuning in and suggest that you subscribe to the topic so you'll get daily updates from us.  Also, feel free to suggest content for inclusion.


Many thanks,
Bill Palladino

How Urban Farming can Transform our Cities & our Agricultural System

How Urban Farming can Transform our Cities & our Agricultural System | Local Economy in Action | Scoop.it

As concerns mount over the accessibility and quality of meals in cities, urban agriculture is becoming a practical solution to give communities more choice—all while helping address greenhouse gas emissions from centralized agriculture.
With more than 80 percent of the American population living in metropolitan centers, urban farming has the ability to dramatically enhance economic growth, increase food quality and build healthier communities.
