“One of the things I have issues with is the way this story is sometimes being portrayed, that Growing Power was a failure, that [its dissolution] sort of shows how unsustainable these things are,” says Michael Carriere, an associate professor at MSOE (Milwaukee School of Engineering) who specializes in urban agriculture and urban redevelopment. “First and foremost, as an entity, Growing Power lasted 25 years, which is quite a long time for a non-profit. Second, Will [Allen] continues to farm every day.”
