Join us for an engaging discussion exploring the intersection of agroecology and urban ecosystems. This webinar will highlight how diverse urban food systems from home gardens to community farms contribute to biodiversity, conservation, and cultural ecosystem services in city environments. We’ll introduce a range of urban agroecological practices, including the use of polycultures in small spaces, urban agroforestry, and community engagement. Speakers will examine how agroecology can address challenges such as land access, equity, and food security while enriching urban life.
