What’s in store for the future of urban agriculture in NYC? How can the city do more to support local food production?
Tonight is your chance to find out! Council Member Rafael Espinal is co-hosting a town hall to discuss urban farming issues at Brooklyn Borough Hall, located at 209 Joralemon Street, at 6 PM.
Local farming plays an important role in the neighborhood’s food supply, environment, and local economy. But it’s getting harder to preserve. Community gardens are shuttering and developers seem eager to take over any tract of land they can get their hands on. Luckily, a coalition of elected officials, advocates, and others have launched a campaign to work with the city to increase access to urban farming.
