Post Carbon Fellow Erika Allen was interviewed about her work with the Urban Growers Collective in Chicago.

From the article:

At sites throughout the city, the women-owned farms of Urban Growers Collective are providing a vehicle for social justice and food security through urban farming and gardening.

“We farm and use farming as a way to create social change,” said co-founder Erika Allen, who serves as CEO and Director of Operations.

The collective operates at seven full-time sites around the city, along with pop-up beautification spaces.
