For Kevin Fulton, 2018 was a new beginning: it was the first year of his farm being fully certified organic...
America tucked itself in the night of Dec. 31, 1997, snug in the assurance that the status quo would greet it in the morning. It was wrong. Because suddenly there were female farmers everywhere, practically springing up out of the ground — 13.4 percent more of them, so it seemed.

Farming is on an upswing, and growing proportionally as groups are organizing to fight harmful factory farms, create social support for farmers, ensure equitable access to healthy food and encourage a sustainable food system. A growing number of women are on the forefronts of food activism and the farming renaissance.

Carrots, kale, the first parsnips and pumpkins, vegetables in all shapes, shades and sizes have pride of place on this sunny and mild autumn Saturday. Not just organic vegetables are on sale outside the local church. Here in east London's Stoke Newington, you can also buy apples, fish, dairy, meat, bread and homemade pies.

If the minimum wage had kept up with inflation, the $1.60 of 1968 would be $10.96 today, so workers' demands for raises are getting serious consideration. The fast-food workers Fight for $15 has pushed the New York Labor Board to back a plan to phase in this new minimum over the next six years.

My first exposure to a different kind of agriculture occurred while taking a university course called "Urban Farm." Landscape architecture professor Ann Bettman's brainchild, the course involved hands-on gardening and compost pile maintenance. The reading list included books by John Jeavons, Bill Mollison and Steve Solomon.
