ABSTRACT
Urban agriculture is one constructive way to encourage and provide for a more even transition to the solar society and the changes in group consciousness. By urban agriculture, or urbagriculture, the authors mean the small-scale, intensive production of food close to living areas, in backyards, empty lots and parks, on rooftops and porches and indoors. The authors saw that the rehabilitation and redesign of older urban dwellings to take advan tage of solar income not only provides a measure of self-reliance to its residents, but starts them thinking and then working toward the next level: in tegral urban blocks and neighbor hoods. With author's first compost started, they turned their attention to building deep planter boxes, a henhouse with enclosed yard, and rabbit hutches. When they shifted their classes from San Francisco to the East Bay they were no longer able to supervise the project and it ended less than a year after it started.
