For us to be able to post information about our resources in a place that is quickly accessible to people everywhere in the world is appealing. On the Web we can update our material as often as we like so that the latest information is always available. Links can be made from our pages to pages of other groups anywhere in the world so that readers get a broader picture of urban agriculture than just ours. And these links are accessed by simply clicking the computer mouse. City Farmer doesn't need a mailing list, a layout artist, a printer or publisher, a distributor, tons of paper or postage to produce this new publication.
Readers can respond to our work effortlessly on the Internet using E-mail.
Unlike Usenet where postings are removed each week, World Wide Web pages remain up as long as the bills are paid. All the above can be accomplished by just one individual working from home using a computer, colour scanner, modem and WWW account at a Web server.
