The urban agriculture movement is gaining momentum, creating pathways to healthy food and improving the vitality of communities. PolicyLink continues its mini-series of webinars focusing on how low-income communities and communities of color are incorporating urban agriculture into their community development efforts and into policy infrastructures supporting this work.

This second webinar highlights the challenges and opportunities in building support within city government and effective strategies for advancing policy and fostering partnerships that promote urban agriculture. Featured speakers include Kimberley Hodgson the founder of Cultivating Healthy Places, Harry Rhodes from Growing Home in Chicago, and Jennifer Ly a Sustainability Associate with the City of Richmond. They will share their experiences with public/private partnerships and discuss the role of local policy advocacy in supporting urban agriculture.
