Biochar Ontario is a Promotional Partner in the first Urban Agriculture Summit in Toronto!


The 2012 Urban Agriculture Summit will bring together a diversity of people that are making it happen - design professionals, community 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.
