I had the opportunity to attend the January gathering for the San Francisco Net Impact Professional Chapter which brought together three interesting voices on Urban Ag. I took some notes on my trusty Iphone and have shared them below:

Q: How did you get started?

A: Working with plants is easier than working with people

Q: What do you do?

A: Mission residents producing mission food for mission restaurants

Problem: Providing healthy food access to low income neighborhoods

Solution: Edge farmers markets are most successful – serve high income and low income [Alemany Farm]
