An Urban Agriculture Outreach Agreement works with partners to improve accessibility to locally grown food and increase the capability to grow food in an urban setting. This video explores the partnership between NRCS and Sankofa Community Development Corporation in New Orleans, Louisiana.
Major benefits include:
• Promoting healthy eating
• Providing green space to urban areas
• Improving soil organic matter
• Introducing agriculture to residents
• Providing environmental education
The Conservation at Work video series was created to increase producer awareness of common conservation practices and was filmed at various locations throughout the country. Because conservation plans are specific to the unique resource needs on each farm and soil type, weather conditions, etc., these videos were designed to serve as a general guide to the benefits of soil and water conservation and landowners should contact their local USDA office for individual consultation.
