Urban agriculture has the potential to integrate topics across several strategic initiatives and disciplines. This project will use the recently completed science-based results from the 2012 Urban Agriculture project (Surls) and extend that information through four hands-on experiential urban ag tours throughout the state. The tours will involve participants from UCCE, community organizations and agencies. We will ensure that there is cultural, racial, ethnic and income diversity among tour sites and participants. We will incorporate two youth trainings on how to conduct these tours, involving youth from the community-based urban ag organizations that will also be tour sites. These tours address several of the topics identified in Healthy Families and Communities; namely: promoting positive youth development through developing leadership capacity and developing long-term strategies for expanding ANR outreach that involves partnerships with other agencies. Since several IPM advisors are involved with the project, there will be opportunities to incorporate elements of sustainable pest management in urban settings as part of the tours (Endemic and Invasive Pests and Diseases). The project also addresses priority areas of the Sustainable Food Systems initiative since some of the tour sites will be smaller scale peri-urban farms that produce foods for nearby communities. With the involvement of ANR’s Small Farm Program Extension Economist, our tours will incorporate strategies about how these peri-urban farms can be financially viable and how the development of value-added products might contribute to their success.
