Planners are excited about local food, healthier eating, and sustainable cities these days, and that has sparked a renewed interest in the development of urban agriculture around Los Angeles. Unfortunately, many communities are bogged down in urban agriculture laws, ordinances, and regulations. Please join presenters:
- Councilmember Curren D. Price Jr., Los Angeles City Council District 9
- Clare Fox, Director of Policy and Innovation, LA Food Policy Council
- Mark Glassock, Director of Special Projects, LA Neighborhood Land Trust
- Goetz Wolff, Lecturer of Urban Planning, UCLA Luskin School of Public Affairs
They will discuss emerging policy issues surrounding urban agriculture in Los Angeles and explore the barriers that currently exist, lessons that can be learned from other jurisdictions, and what they believe policy priorities should be to help spur urban agriculture.
