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:
- Keith Agoada – Sky Vegetables [GreenBiz article]
Q: How did you get started?
A: Working with plants is easier than working with people
- David Stockhausen – Amyitis Gardens [about them]
Q: What do you do?
A: Mission residents producing mission food for mission restaurants
- Mei Ling Hui - Responsible for urban agriculture, City of San Francisco. Read Mayor Newsom’s Executive Directive on Healthy and Sustainable Food for San Francisco.
Problem: Providing healthy food access to low income neighborhoods
Solution: Edge farmers markets are most successful – serve high income and low income [Alemany Farm]
