Food Not Lawns

From WikiMD's Food, Medicine & Wellness Encyclopedia

Food Not Lawns is a de-centralized social movement focused on replacing urban lawns with food-producing organic gardens. The first group to use the name Food Not Lawns was founded in Eugene, Oregon in 1999 by Tobias Policha, Nick Routledge, and Heather Jo Flores. In 2006, Flores published the book Food Not Lawns: How to Turn Your Yard into a Garden and Your Neighborhood into a Community. A self-described avant-gardening collective, FNL's basic premise was to garner surplus resources, whether food, seeds, plants, tools, garden space, publications, or volunteer time, and channel them toward building better food security for the community at hand.
