Iraqis go wild over exotic pets
Due to the upheaval of recent years, Iraqis have not had many entertainment options within their country. This left many desperate for a means of escape from their boredom and depression. But with the security situation slowly improving, many people now are venturing out to the movies, parks and even exotic pet shops. Al Jazeera's Rawya Rageh visits one wild animal shop that attracts big crowds in capital Baghdad. [July 30, 2010]

Urban Farming: Hydroponics in the City
Keeping agriculture sustainable increasingly means keeping it local. Besides the environmental benefit of reducing reliance on fossil-fuel guzzling transportation, eating local food is a more seasonal and often healthier experience. With concern about food security growing, it might turn out to be safer, too. The folks in charge of the Science Barge, a new urban farming experiment in New York, are bringing local food production closer than ever. In this video Vanessa Rae learns about the floating greenhouse facility, which is designed as a demonstration of how urban space, especially rooftop space in big cities like New York, can be used to efficiently produce food. Self-powered by solar panels, wind turbines, and a biodiesel generator, the Science Barge uses state of the art computer technology and an agricultural technique called hydroponics to grow fruits and veggies using much less water and space than field farming. Watch out, city slickers. Farm country is coming to your neighborhood.
