This week, on The Progressive Radio Network , I am happy to welcome on as my guest, Will Allen, the Founder and CEO of Growing Power, a non-profit urban farm and teaching center in the heart of Milwaukee. Mr. Allen is a food advocate, believing that access to healthy food is a right for all people, regardless of one’s economic circumstance. Will Allen was our keynote speaker at the 2011 Long Island Small Farm Summit, and he has inspired thousands of people to grow food, to compost, and to eat well. Mr. Allen was the first to introduce the concept of aquaponics to me, and he has over 100 hoop houses raising fish and fertilizing plants in a closed circuit system. It is all inspiring!
