Vacant Lots to Farms Program — MA Food System Collaborative Final Meeting of 2024
December 19, 2024 @ 1:00 pm - 2:00 pm
None
We will host one final Urban Agriculture network meeting of 2024 on Thursday December 19 at 1pm. You can register for the zoom meeting here.
We’d love to discuss topics of interest for next year, and seek your input on potentially advocating for a Vacant Lots to Farms program.
Vacant Lots to Farm program – “Collaborate with city and regional planners, NGOs, and MDAR Urban Farming staff to analyze vacant lots in Gateway cities, Boston, and other cities. If implemented, offer grants to cities to collaboratively develop urban farm/garden plans.”
Included in the Resilient Lands Initiative – one of the state plans that addresses the food system – as part of a goal to “Expand the amount of locally grown food, especially in food deserts, and ready the Commonwealth’s local food production system for future stress from droughts, floods, storms, sea level rise, and other climate change impacts.”
