Inhaltsangabe
Will Allen is no ordinary farmer. A former basketball star, he's as tall as his truck, and he can hold a cabbage--or a basketball--in one hand. But what is most special about Farmer Will is that he can see what others can't see. When he looked at an abandoned city lot in Milwaukee he saw a huge table, big enough to feed the whole world.
No space, no problem. Poor soil, there's a solution. Need help, found it. Farmer Will is a genius in solving problems. In 2008, the MacArthur Foundation named him one for his innovative urban farming methods, including aquaponics and hydroponics.
Jacqueline Briggs Martin, author of the Caldecott Medal winner, Snowflake Bentley, and Alice Waters and the Trip to Delicious , along with debut artist Eric-Shabazz Larkin's striking artwork, tells the inspiring story of the African American innovator, educator, and community builder.

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.
