Check out the new videos for Seed Your City to Feed Your City. Stay tuned to our channels, newsfeeds, blogs and website to find out more about how you can eat better, live better, contribute to biodiversity, develop lasting healthy relationships with your food and your community…

Zell and Krist have joined the Grow Together community association. Grow Together, an initiative supported by Carrot Cache, Carrot Commons, and LiveGreen Toronto are putting an innovative learning hub atop the greenroof at Danforth and Chester and are steering the Seed Your City Campaign to launch from the Carrot Green Roof.

The Carrot Green Roof will launch in September.

How many tons of food can we grow with 1 Billion Seeds?

How much square feet of space is needed to plant 1 Billion Seeds?

Feed Your City Organization charity is collaborating with Parc Downsview Park Inc. to build a sustainable program called “The Seed to Feed Bank Security System”. Together with the Seeds of Diversity, Canada’s National Heritage Gardeners network, other non profits, educators and other food security leaders we are working together to preserve the remaining Heirloom Heritage seeds from extinction and preserve them in a Seed to Feed Bank Terminal System at Downsview Park.

Our campaign engages people young and old in planting, growing and caring enough to save the seeds to feed them. Together with Government, schools, families, friends, colleagues, business ambassadors, and local food groups we can come together and start growing our own local, nutritious, carbon neutral food in our cities on our city roof tops.

v Average space needed to plant one vegetable seed is 1.5 square feet

v 1 Seed = Produces 2.25 lbs of food = enough food to feed 2 People for 1 day

v 1 Seed = Produces on average approx. 100 seeds

v 100 seeds grow to feed 100 people for one day or 10,000 seeds

v 10,000 seeds grow to be 100,000lbs of food or 1,000,000 seeds

From Seed to Feed it takes 120 days for the average tomato to grow.

$1.00 dollar per seed pledge – Works out to be 0.008 cents per day for someone to care for a tomato seed to grow to feed from within nurseries and roof top gardens.

Plant the seeds to feed, or sponsor others to!

Fortune asked artist Bryan Christie to imagine how Detroit’s thousands of abandoned residential acres might be transformed into cutting-edge, city-style farms: Solar panels and windmills power vertical growing systems that are efficient, attractive, and tourist-friendly. Greenhouses allow crops to grow year-round.

So, we might ask ourselves, what is Toronto doing? Detroit has their champion. Chicago is way ahead with their 24 acre green roof. Italy, Denmark and most of Europe have been doing it for years.

How is Toronto prepared for Peak Oil? How many days will our current system provide us with food in case of emergency?
How much food can we grow on the 5000 sq hectares of rooftop space?
How positive is this for climate change? Healthy environment, storm water management? These are the questions that we have been asking friends, businesses, policy makers and building owners.

Green Energy Act positions us with the correct policy.
Toronto has mandated the Green Roof Bylaw, which positions us to be the most progressive GreenRoof city in the world.
There is a ground swell of support among the youth and people in the Green Movement.
Where are Canada’s investors to step up and help inititaives grow which provide Food Security to Canadian Cities?

Together we can truly create a Green Renaissance, and not just talk about it.
What is the Canadian government doing right now (Besides having an extended vacation?)
And what are we doing to make sure our food sources are local, NON-GMO and available to all?

Tune into initiatives like Seed Your City, the Carrot Common Green Roof, Artscape’s Whychwood Barns, Markham’s Garden Project and the Food Policy Council and Toronto Youth Food Policy Council for answers to these questions and more.

We can and will make a difference by reclaiming our food sources.

CALLED Seed Your City!

Seed Your City is:

A documentary about the Green Renaissance growing in Ontario, Canada, and around the world. We are showcasing all the grassroots supporters of Urban Agriculture and we are looking for initiatives that want to have their projects and voices heard!

Zell and Krist come to the city armed with two years of hands on hard work at the Artan Gardens Urban Permaculture Farm and they have a mission: Decentralizing and re-localizing the food source of cities. Join us on the adventure as we cultivate the rooftops to provide heirloom produce for urban landscapes.

Seed Your City exposes the inner workings and people in Toronto’s sustainability network while maintaining a link to the community garden roots movement in the North. This Micro-cosm/Macro-cosm structure keeps viewers of all types entertained and enlightened. Reality and Science Fiction fuse in our Ryerson University Pilot. Sustainable living is in organic growing. Donate online at www.artangardens.com so that we can complete our video. See segments online at youtube/artangardens.com
