Host Severine von Tscharner Fleming talks to young farmers Vinnie Bevinino and Clinton Lindsey. Bevinino has been farming in Maryland for five years and has designed and built school gardens for schools, and co-wrote "Growing Healthy Habits," a gardening and nutrition curriculum. His most recent project, Seed and Cycle, is an effort to push urban agriculture and composting further along to areas explored only by the most innovative or adventurous urban agriculturalists. He wants to help urban farmers to get more yield out of their land using low-cost hoop houses and is building a business assisting other farmers in quickly and cheaply constructing them on their farm. Lindsey is a young farmer interested in bringing sustainable farming practices to his farm in Corvallis, Oregon. He and his family are grass-seed farmers who are transitioning to organic bean, grain, and seed crops to supply local markets.
