   The UN has a study, published 2/13/96, announced in Conference rm.
   6, on "Urban Agriculture: Food, Jobs, and Sustainable Cities", Vol.
   1, auth. Jac Smit [sic] of the Urban Agriculture Network.


   THe USDA had a "Urban Agri-Forest" Model in USDA/FS Grant #92-LA-5,
   [FY 92-95, $238,000] reportedly.  Average annual gross revenue
   from garden, orchard, landscaping, and timber products est. at
   $120,000/acre in cold zones, and once set up it is self-supporting.


   Any ideas on how I might get my hands on either of the above?  I
   have clients interested in doing it.

   Just FYI, Banana Kelly, the Bronx neighborhood cited last year as
   an example of proactive community building in Smithsonian magazine,
   had a symposium on Urban Agriforestry, what they're calling "Hope
   Bronx [NY] Project, on 2/13/96.  Contact was Yaw Vilmar, 718 328
