Urban agriculture includes market gardens and small farms within cities that grow crops for sale, but urban agriculture also includes school gardens, community gardens, gardens used to provide nutritious donations for food pantries and also backyard gardens.
Urban farms are “small but mighty.” Seventy-size percent of urban farms in Indiana are less than an acre in size, but they do contribute significantly to the food system. Still most urban farmers do need another source of income besides their farm.
This webinar provides details about urban agriculture demographics. Learn about ways the Great Lakes Urban Agriculture Working Group supports urban farmers, the resources that are available, how to join the working group, and the group's ongoing efforts.
