Food, Farming & Philadelphia: Recap

Local changemakers prioritize access, communities, and healthy food for our tables.

How does urban agriculture impact our communities, healthy waterways and food system?

The Rodale Institute hosted a webinar on this topic last Saturday, and we had the pleasure of moderating this panel with Christa Barfield of FarmerJawn Community Greenhouses, Justin Trezza of the Pennsylvania Horticultural Society, Carly Pourzand of The People’s Kitchen, and Emily Newman of Rodale Institute’s Organic Crop Consulting Program.
