Pursuing a sustainable #urbanag future will promote #health and #foodaccess for urban communities. Programs like community #gardens and #farms are a great way to achieve this, especially when youth are involved. #PSB143

@CivilEats This is interesting. I see quite a bit of resistance towards American #agroecology even in my formal ag. education in college. Food justice is not at the forefront of most #industrial ag. conversations. #PSB143

This plot of land along the Thruway in Kingston will soon be home to a meadow of wildflowers. Planting wildflowers and other plant materials support pollinators and reduces areas that need to be mowed. 🌹🌻🌾
