Attra - Sustainable Agriculture

Community gardens and urban farms provide more than just delicious, fresh food for surrounding neighborhoods. In this episode of Voices from the Field, NCAT Sustainable Agriculture Specialists Felicia Bell and Nina Prater talk about what these two types of enterprises are and the differences between them, why they are so beneficial, what some of their challenges are, and what resources are available for folks interested in getting started in either community gardens or urban farms. ATTRA Resources: ·        Urban Agriculture·        Regenerating Damaged Soils on an Urban Farm ·        Community Gardening ·        Community Gardens and Sustainable Agriculture ·        Community Supported Agriculture NCAT Resources:·        Upcoming EventsOther Resources: ·        USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service·        Metro Atlanta Urban Farm·        Truly Living Well Center for Natural Urban Agriculture·        HABESHA, Inc.·        Tougaloo CollegeContact Felicia Bell and Nina Prater at feliciab@ncat.org and nin
