About the speaker:
The Edmonton Urban Farm launched in 2014 as an economic and educational model of urban agriculture. A single commercial grower produced lettuce on a 1-acre plot, while 200 students toured the operation. Ten years later, the Urban Farm is gardened by 22 different groups and hosts 10,000 visitors yearly. It is a unique place whose evolution has something to tell us about where urban agriculture in Edmonton might be headed.
