Excerpt:
The Center for Agriculture and Food Systems (CAFS) at Vermont Law and Graduate School has released “Urban Agriculture and Innovative Production: A Guide to Local Policy”, a comprehensive resource developed with support from the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Office of Urban Agriculture and Innovative Production.
The guide analyzes policies from 17 USDA-designated urban agriculture hub cities, covering land access, zoning, governance, water access, soil health, and innovative production systems.
It features practical examples from cities such as Philadelphia and Chicago, illustrating local strategies to improve urban food production.
A companion series of fact sheets distills findings into accessible summaries for policymakers and community advocates.
The guide launches the Urban Agriculture and Innovative Production Policy Project, an ongoing CAFS initiative to support research and policy development in urban food systems.
Introduction
What is “urban agriculture”? Definitions vary from city to city and even from individual to individual. Urban agriculture can mean for-profit farming or nonprofit community gardens, or both; it can be limited to agriculture within a city’s limits, or it can expand to include peri-urban and exurban farms that serve urban markets; it can include rooftop farms, indoor farms, container farms, or indoor aquaculture; it can orient itself toward social justice and mutual aid or simply provide a farmer’s livelihood. However urban agriculture is defined and whatever form it takes, individuals or groups who want to produce food in urban settings must navigate the complex landscape of municipal ordinances, zoning restrictions, and other local government-specific regulations inherent to any land-based activity.
