An amazing statement for a more sustainable food system was just planted at San Francisco city hall. It’s entire front lawn was removed and replaced with a Victory Garden, filled with a variety of edibles, to coincide with the Slow Food Nation conference that is taking place there at the end of August.

Follow the progress of the garden at the Slow Food Nation blog.

*UPDATE*
I made it out to San Francisco for Slow Food Nation ’08. It was really inspirational to see my Slow Food heroes and be surrounded by so many other people that are passionate about good food. See my photos below:
