The rise in the cost of food has generated renewed interest in urban agriculture by communities; proponents of healthier eating have reinvigorated the market for organic food; and increased costs of energy and, therefore, transportation, have made locally grown food sourcing more cost-effective as well as fresher. Practitioners, local governments, and advocacy groups are seeking resources that will help them understand how to produce more food locally and the effects of growing that food on the community and the environment. And if all the sustainability issues were not enough, urban agriculture policies are intertwined with planning for livable cities with greening for beautification.Considering that nearly 20% of respondents to a recent survey conducted by State Farm admited to browsing the internet on a mobile device while driving, and a recent study by the Pew Research Center found that 27% of American adults sent or read text messages while driving in 2009, NHSTA's estimate that in that same year, auto accidents involving driver distraction caused 5500 deaths and 450,000 injuries shouldn't come as a surprise. So it's with good reason that so much attention is now being given to this issue.For years, community gardens have been used as an antidote to blight in poor neighborhoods, pulling the community together in a social endeavor that brings fresh produce to an area often without access to reasonably priced goods. The benefits that 4-H clubs extolled in rural areas are transferred to youth groups to educate and develop leaders. For example, Growing Food & Justice for All [https://www.growingfoodandjustice.org] is an "initiative aimed at dismantling racism and empowering low-income and communities of color through sustainable and local agriculture."ilypen@motor. comPALO ALTO, Calif. -- TuneIn Radio (formerly RadioTime, Inc.), a developer of applications for finding and listening to radio on connected devices, today announced the release of a new version of its TuneIn Radio designed for Windows Phone 7.
