In their search for answers, filmmakers Dan Susman and Andrew Monbouquette take a road trip and meet the men and women who are challenging the way this country grows and distributes its food, one vacant city lot, rooftop garden, and backyard chicken coop at a time. Join them as they discover that good food isn't the only crop these urban visionaries are harvesting. They're producing stronger and more vibrant communities, too.

In celebration of World Food Day, October 16th, the Sustainable Agriculture Student Association, Department of Community and Regional Planning, Graduate Program in Sustainable Agriculture and the Office of Sustainability are sponsoring the showing of the documentary Growing Cities, which examines the role of urban farming in America and asks how much power it has to revitalize our cities and change the way we eat.
