Description
Using South Dallas as a living example, Ms. Wilson shows how urban & regional agrisystems can generate local economic value while anchoring food sovereignty, workforce development, nutrient-dense production, and community health - complementing rather than competing with rural regenerative agriculture. It also illustrates how system byproducts, from compost to biomass, can become sources of revenue and energy, closing the loop in a circular bioeconomy.
