Food Security and Urban Agronomy in Urban Phoenix - Ignite Phoenix presentation by Nicholas DiBiase from Hepnova

In this presentation at Ignite Phoenix 4 on 06-16-2009, Nicholas DiBiase from Hepnova gives a brisk, entertaining overview of urban food security, food supply chain issues, and how the PPG's simple + effective approaches to urban food production can solve some of those problems. PPG gets a big shout-out toward the end -- thanks to all the PPG activists who inspired the talk! Especially Ryan and Ericka Cero-Wood, whose home tour in June provided much of the material.

Hello Susan,
Thanks so much for the kind words! I wasn't very nervous for the presentation; the atmosphere was pretty relaxed.
The Ignite crowd was awesome and big - probably 500 people or so. The next one is in November and it's going to rock -- hope to see you there!
-Nicholas

I tried to go to Ignite night but didn't have a ticket for this night and have heard the crowd has grown emmensly. What a great presentation, you looked so calm! Were you nervous?
