Backyard Bounty and the University of Guelph

Opportunities for Action: An Urban Agriculture Symposium will bring together the movers and shakers in the Urban Agriculture scene.  The Symposium aims to not only inspire action but address key issues and provide connections that enable the Urban Agriculture movement to advance.

The morning will start with a keynote presentation from Dr. Karen Landman who will inspire us with stories of her summer tour of urban agriculture projects across North America. A panel discussion will follow that brings together experience and ideas from those near and far working in the field of urban agriculture.  During the afternoon participants will take part in an interactive facilitation process to identify common barriers, seek feasible solutions and set achievable actions.  A local lunch and snacks will be provided.
