Comments on: New biological pest control laboratory at the forefront of a global revolution in urban food production. http://www.cityfarmer.info/2009/10/16/new-biological-pest-control-laboratory-at-the-forefront-of-a-global-revolution-in-urban-food-production/ New Stories From 'Urban Agriculture Notes' Thu, 09 Feb 2012 16:03:41 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Doug Weatherbee http://www.cityfarmer.info/2009/10/16/new-biological-pest-control-laboratory-at-the-forefront-of-a-global-revolution-in-urban-food-production/comment-page-1/#comment-75 Doug Weatherbee Mon, 26 Oct 2009 21:33:17 +0000 http://www.cityfarmer.info/?p=2430#comment-75 The Post above discusses how the BC Lab will be testing biological control agents that can be safely used for urban farming in densely populated urban environments. The intent of this testing is to develop future biological control agents as products. We already do this now. In a few days I'll be posting a video presentation I do of the microbiological approach I use on my website sometime this week. Based on the premise in the Post above that we need to farm safely and organically, but effectively and productively as farmers, in densely populated urban environments, I think it going to have a strong relevance to urban farming. My video presentation outlines a microbiological approach that is used now in cities to grow the usual city park trees, scrubs and turf, plus in urban farming and brown field remediation. I thought you might be interested and will let you know when I make the Post on my site.
