Soil Health and Youth Development in Urban Growing Spaces

Farming and gardening in small spaces, using municipal property or shared property, and managing nutrient-poor soils can make growing nutrient-rich food challenging. In this online event, we will discuss ways to increase soil fertility in small garden spaces and examine the role of youth development in working towards healthy soil and food justice.

This workshop is for anyone who would like to grow food crops in small spaces or work with youth in agriculture or community gardens.

Join our discussion around:

• Creating soil fertility in small spaces and urban sites.

• Incorporating cover crops and working with compromised soils.

• Three urban growing sites that face unique soil fertility challenges in compact spaces.
