Popis: As discourses of sustainability and the awareness of the environmental and health impacts of factory farming have become more widespread in recent years, many residents of urban and suburban communities have become interested in producing their own food. Spurred by popular writers like Michael Pollan and Barbara Kingsolver, celebrity chefs like Jamie Oliver, and First Lady Michelle Obama who planted an organic garden at the White House in 2009, gardening and food production has gained popularity in recent years. While much of this activity is allowable (and encouraged) by local governments, some urban agricultural activity falls outside the limits of permissibility in local zoning codes and land use ordinances.
