The crew of cyclists turning Florida’s lawns into farms

In Orlando, a group of pedal-powered volunteers are transforming lawns into organic gardens, to create 'hyper-local' food networks that will boost food security

The future of the immaculate British lawn is under threat, claims a new report from the Royal Horticultural Society: rising temperatures will deliver a triple-threat of dryness, weeds and pests that gardeners will have to navigate if they want to maintain their manicured emerald rectangles. Some reports have even suggested we do away with lawns altogether and just substitute them with fake green turf (gasp!) to avoid the inevitable hassle.

But will it be worth it? Let's be honest, what do lawns really do, anyway-other than satisfy that odd part of the human ego that thrives off the sight of evenly-clipped grass? In fact, how about we really shake things up and just turn our lawns into vegetable patches, instead?
