| Abstract | Jules Dervaes, 62, began growing food, brewing bio-diesel, and generating solar electricity on one-fifth of an acre in Pasadena, Calif. His children, Anais, 33, Justin, 29, and Jordanne, 24, work full-time with him and help sustain what they call an "urban homestead." This lifestyle is a response to the need for sustainability in cities. A United Nations report says cities in developed nations, like the United States, are not equipped to handle the food and energy requirements of break-neck urbanization. So, the Dervaeses ' lifestyle may provide an example of how we might meet future urban demands for energy and food. |
