Join to increase literacy about urban and innovative agriculture across the USDA.
This is the first installment of a series of webinars to create interest in urban and innovative agriculture across the Department and to raise awareness about what the Department is doing. Participate in this training to learn about the main reasons the Office of Urban Agriculture and Innovative Production was created, why is urban and innovative agriculture is important to the Department and to the American public.
Subsequent webinars will dive deeper into specific agency programs, barriers and remedies for urban, small scale, and innovative producers who have not been afforded the full suite of programs and opportunities the USDA provides, and ways USDA employees can promote the use of USDA programs for urban and innovative agriculture. Upcoming webinars will also identify ways to help staff implement what they have learned in their current position.
