Future of farming: How Urban Agriculture is Revitalizing Urban Economies
May 25, 2017 @ 5:30 pm - 7:30 pm
Climate Action Business Association and Green City Growers are teaming up for a very special panel discussion on the importance of reinvestment into the local food community.
As populations grow, we are tasked with many differing goals: create jobs, grow the economy, but at the same time make the city “greener” and more sustainable for the environment and human well-being. Food entrepreneurs have the opportunity to make a difference beyond our dinner plate.

Where: The KITCHEN at Boston Public Market, Presented by The Trustees
