Opportunities for Actions: An Urban Agriculture Symposium
Friday, November 20th, 8:30 am- 5:30 pm, The Arboretum at the University of Guelph.
The Symposium aims to not only inspire action but address key issues and provide connections that enable the Urban Agriculture movement to advance. The morning will start with keynote presentation from Dr. Karen Landman, inspiring us with stories of urban agriculture projects across North America, to be followed by a panel discussion from those working in the field of urban agriculture. During the afternoon, participants will take part in an interactive facilitation process to identify common barriers, seek feasible solutions and set achievable actions. A local lunch and snack will be provided.
