"Until the 1950s, Los Angeles County was the top agricultural county in the U.S. From approximately 1910 to 1955, this was it; it was bigger than Iowa or any of those Midwestern states in terms of its agriculture. We grew everything here." Rachel Surls

From top agricultural county in the US from 1910-1955 to food desert. Until very recently, parkway gardens were still illegal in the City of Los Angeles, and residents were being issued $400 fines for planting edible parkway gardens in areas that are considered food deserts. Come to The Shed to discuss the past, present and future of urban agriculture in Los Angeles, and how we can shape current policy to encourage our communities to grow food, not lawns.

"There is one, and only one, solution, and we have almost no time to try it. We must turn all our resources to repairing the natural world, and train all our young people to help. They want to. We need to give them this last chance to create forests, soils, clean waters, clean energies, secure communities, stable regions, and to know how to do it from hands-on experience."
"...the greatest change we need to make is from consumption to production, even if on a small scale, in our own gardens. If only 10% of us do this, there is enough for everyone. Hence the futility of revolutionaries who have no gardens, who depend on the very system they attack, and who produce words and bullets, not food and shelter."
- Bill Mollison
