Hundreds of San Franciscans are on waiting lists for community garden plots and demand for urban agriculture space in the city is high. Public land has high potential for filling the gap, but city resources and institutional support are limited. Join Juliet Ellis, assistant general manager for external affairs at the SF Public Utilities Commission; Mei Ling Hui, urban forest and urban agriculture coordinator at the Department of the Environment; Blair Randall, executive director of Garden for the Environment; and Eli Zigas, food systems and urban agriculture program manager at SPUR, for a discussion about the city’s current involvement in and support for urban agriculture. Co-presented with 18 Reasons and Kitchen Table Talks. This event is also free for 18 Reasons members.
