UFI Hosts Inaugural Massachusetts Urban Agriculture Week Event

On Monday, August 12th, 2024, UFI hosted Massachusetts Department of Agricultural Resources (MDAR) Commissioner, Ashley Randle, along with approximately 200 people from across the country for the first Massachusetts Urban Agriculture Week. Our visitors were eager to learn more about urban farming and we were excited to highlight how UFI's programs also promote health, wellness, and education.

We were honored to have been one of the stops on this weeklong tour celebrating urban agriculture across the state. For this inaugural event, MDAR will release its 10-year report on funding for urban food production that will highlight the importance of urban farming and its impact on food security, climate change mitigation, and community wellness. We thank you all for your fellowship and continued support of this movement.
