Along with Kelly Coyne, Erik Knutzen is the author of Homegrown Evolution (formerly Homegrown Revolution), a blog that covers “urbanites are becoming gardeners and farmers.” In June, the pair authored Urban Homestead, a book based on the same premises as the blog and released by Process Media. I have read it and it is a wonderful starting point for anyone interested in figuring out how to live off the land from the comfort of their own apartment, condo, or urban living space.

I came across Knutzen’s name a little over a month ago in an article about guerrilla gardening in the L.A. Times. Since he was pretty embedded in work in the community and guerrilla gardening communities, we reached out to talk with him about how public desire for reallocation of space and resources leads to community and collective action.
