L'agriculture urbaine pour lutter contre la faim (Urban agriculture to fight against hunger) French only

La Presse
par Marie-Claude Girard

Montréal, le 25 juin 2006 - Des jardins hydroponiques sur les balcons, des arbres fruitiers entretenus par des citoyens, des jardins collectifs dans les cours d'école, des cuisines collectives qui prennent des leçons sur la mise en conserve. Pour lutter contre l'insécurité alimentaire tout en favorisant une saine alimentation, la Maison de quartier Villeray a choisi de s'attaquer à toute la chaîne alimentaire. Ici, on ne se contente pas de faire pousser un plant de fève en classe. On le suit jusque dans l'assiette!
