    Sustainable urban farming?

    I'm looking for some information that I came across before, but can't find now:

    It's basically a system, that uses chickens-rabbits-garden-pond in a sort of "closed loop".

    Basically, feed chickens and rabbits garden and kitchen scraps --> Use manure to fertilize garden --> Use pond to water garden, and animals, and house food fish --> run off is "treated" by pond.

    Does anyone have some sort of information on this?

    This may be a good place to start. Try a search on the site for "urban farming."

    All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.

    Forgot the underline. Fixed now.

    I like the idea of goats for urban farming.

    Goat milk and cheese is tasty. The meat is very lean and healthy. Milk the girls, cook the boys.
