Track H: Transforming Urban Landscapes and Communities with Urban Agriculture. Session 2: Climate Change and Conservation in Urban Agriculture. Slide presentations and additional conference information is available at sare.org/Events/Our-Farms-Our-Future-Conference.
Like all farmers, urban farmers have a responsibility and a need to conserve their resources, while also responding to urban heat waves and extreme weather events correlated with a changing climate. In this session, participants will explore how urban farmers can do these things, with key points including: how tree crops offer a more resilient solution for urban agriculture; the role that climate change adaptation plays in selecting plants for urban agriculture; how rooftop agriculture can conserve resources while producing local, urban produce.
Sustainable Agriculture Research and Education (SARE) provides grants and outreach to advance innovations that improve profitability, stewardship and quality of life. SARE is supported by the National Institute of Food and Agriculture, USDA.
