Urban agriculture is growing rapidly in cities across America. Vacant lots, abandoned green spaces, and even urban rooftops are being transformed into productive farms that provide fresh produce and opportunities for healthy activity, income, and many other benefits for urban families. Growing the Urban Farm will feature four distinguished speakers who will address critical issues and offer inspiration to experienced and aspiring urban farmers alike.
