Part of the series Farm
City: Where Are You Growing?
Farm City concludes with an “unconference” of
lively participant-driven discussions in collaboration with Eyebeam
Art + Technology, exploring how to shape the future of
urban agriculture. Sessions will bring together artists,
farmers, urban planners, architects, food activists, and
authors envisioning the transformative possibilities of urban
agriculture as a means to generate new thinking and experimental
action for a more sustainable future.
In addition, everyone is invited to participate in Farm
City TALK!, a web-based knowledge-sharing platform
where users may:
- Discuss proposed topics prior to the Forum
- Offer questions to be posed at each of the three Sessions
- Submit questions for Novella Carpenter, author of Farm
City: The Education of an Urban Farmer
