Urban Agriculture Policy Plan Passes in Minneapolis
The Homegrown Minneapolis Urban Ag Policy Plan was passed by the Minneapolis City Council!
The plan is rooted in a two+ year process with extensive community input and close collaboration with the Minneapolis Departments of Health and Community Planning and Economic Development and the Homegrown Minneapolis initiative.
As Minneapolis Mayor R. T. Rybak put it, “This plan represents hundreds of hours of work of volunteers and City staff, and it’s paid off. The plan makes it easier to be part of the local, healthy, sustainable food movement and is a giant step toward helping our city and state move closer to food independence.”
Efforts here in Minneapolis were informed and inspired by the many communities around the country who blazed the trail on urban ag. Thanks for sharing your sage advice and helping us make this a reality here in the Heartland!
