City Farm Video Information

Full Title: Made-in-Alberta - Chapter 1: Ep. 2 "City Farm"

City Farm
At Edmonton's City Farm, they teach city kids about agriculture in the hopes of improving urban-rural relationships in the future..

Eating Local
Transporting and storing imported food is a major contributor to the world's greenhouse gas emissions. Eating locally-produced food is better for our environment, health and future food security. How are Albertans learning to get in touch with the land, even in the city?

Made-in-Alberta
Energy, water and climate, these are hot topics for the 21st Century. With conventional fuel reserves running out, water tables running low, and global temperatures running high, many Albertans are finding new energy solutions. Made-in-Alberta brings their stories to community television and the world wide web with this innovative new series.
