This event is especially timely as people are beginning to look for innovative solutions to help them build back better from the COVID-19 pandemic. Urban agriculture has grown rapidly in popularity and is quickly being understood as a resilient solution to COVID19. Urban agriculture helps support strong local economies and brings communities back together again, two things that are vital in COVID19 recovery. Not only will urban agriculture be an effective solution with COVID19, but it also provides many community, economic, and social benefits.
The Urban Food Production virtual symposium can be found on the Living Architecture Academy along with past GRHC events and dedicated training courses. For upcoming virtual events visit https://greenroofs.org/virtualevents
