In Part 1, we are looking to interview women farmers, growers, and food activists working in Pittsburgh who would like to share their experience as urban growers and give their opinions on how non-governmental organizations, extension, academic research, and federal programs can better support urban agriculture.
In Part 2 of the project, participants will work together to create a traveling print (and digital) photography gallery that will be displayed at agricultural education, networking, and policy events throughout the Northeast and beyond!
