MORE SESSION DETAILS
Urban agriculture is literally growing, in both popularity and practice nationwide. Today city farms provide urban dwellers access to green space, career training, educational activities, exercise, and health screenings, in addition to producing fresh local food. Such farms should be included in any modern, sustainable city planning. Visit various innovative urban farms throughout New Orleans–from a rooftop oasis to edible green spaces-and learn about unique programs and techniques for growing food in urban spaces. Enjoy a true farm-to-table lunch, tour eco-efficient gardens, and experience how local farms grow healthy (and resilient) cities.
