We

with
information!
Dear
farmers,
community
gardeners and
food growers
in New York
City,
New York City Soil & Water Conservation
District is
conducting a survey of people
and
organizations
that grow food
(both
commercial and
non-commercial) in New York City. The survey assesses natural resources
concerns
regarding
urban
agriculture in
New York
City.
The
survey will
inform the
development of
an Agricultural Environmental Management (AEM)
Strategic Plan
which will
prioritize
natural
resources
management on
farms and
community
gardens (both
commercial and
non-commercial) in New York City. The strategic
plan is the
first step in
seeking
funding and
technical
assistance
from New York
State. Traditionally
food growers
in New York
City have not
participated
in state
grants for
agriculture
and we are
working to
change that.
Information
you share in
this survey is
strictly
confidential
but will be
included in
the strategic
plan
anonymously
without
attribution to
you or your
operation. Please
share this
survey with
other farmers
and community
gardeners.
Thank
you for your
participation!
La
versión en
español de la
encuesta
estará
disponible la
próxima
semana.
