groups, social housing advocates, tenants and developers, educators,
planners, homeowners, urban growers and others - to share what is
working, and to discover what is possible.
The Summit will be action-oriented: attendees will learn new tools to
advance urban agriculture in their own communities.
Together participants will explore urban agriculture's current role
and future potential in 21st century city-building.
