| Abstract: |
Annie's Project is a nationally recognized educational program for women farmers focused on five areas of risk management: marketing, production, financial, human, and legal. Some challenges are common to all farms, while some are unique to urban locations. We added urban-focused topics including short-term leases, contaminated soils, water availability, indoor production, and access to capital and resources to develop Annie's Project: Farming in Cities and the Urban Fringe. As urbanization spreads and a greater percentage of farmers across the United States are women, our curriculum can be used to address needs that are unique to farmers in urban environments. |
