Perhaps what’s critically missing in the present manifestation of urban agriculture — into which one could lump together Fritz Haeg’s Edible Estates, Slow Food Nation, Middlesbrough and temporary boutique farms, among other things — are some faunal decorations. You don’t see Holstein cows lazily lying on the lawn waiting to be milked or a herd of Texas longhorns fighting through traffic (or migrating along decommissioned subway tunnels or a retrofitted High Line) on its way to an abattoir amidst haute condominiums in the Meat Packing District. Where is the flock of sheep grazing on rooftop gardens while next door, higher up on their lofts, neighbors delight in such charming rural view? (via Pruned: Small Food Nation)
