ARE YOU INTERESTED IN URBAN AGRICULTURE? ARE YOU LIVING IN AN URBAN COMMUNITY THAT COULD BENEFIT FROM FRESH FOOD? THEN JOIN AG IN THE CITY AND OTHERS ON MARCH 13TH TO DISCUSS WHAT IS GOING ON IN CITIES ACROSS THE COUNTRY.

Ag in the City invites New Jersey’s urban growers, policy makers and municipal and state officials to attend this conference so that we can expand our collective knowledge about urban agriculture, consider the economic and societal impacts of greening our urban centers and connect with others in the field.

The Garden Cities: Urban Ag in the Garden State conference is a follow-up to the first New Jersey urban ag conference which took place in March 2011. We will hear from representatives from Detroit, Philadelphia and New York as well as New Jersey practitioners who work in urban settings around growing food.
