Is Will Allen done? Never! "We need fifty million more people growing food on porches, in pots, in side yard," he says. Will is always looking for new ways to make the table bigger-- more schoolyard plots, a vertical farm that's five stories high, farms in empty factories or warehouses. Will Allen dreams of a day when city farms are as common as streetlights, and every table is covered with good food.
