Seeds | The Urban Ag Revolution

Agro-Innovation from Big Picture to Profit in Pinellas

The industrial food system is pushing the limits of what’s healthy and what’s truly sustainable on a global scale, while nimble local food systems are rising to the rescue in small spaces and urban places.

Innovations in technology, sustainability, and distribution are revolutionizing the way we grow, eat and benefit from the bounty, making today’s agro-businessmen look nothing like your father’s farmer.

We’ll explore what’s growing-on across the USA and right here in Florida that is on the cutting edge of growing change.

Panelists:
Janet Keeler – Former Food Critic, Tampa Bay Times, Professor, Dept. of Journalism & Digital Communications, USF St. Petersburg
Shannon O’Malley – Co-Founder, Brick Street Farms
Adrian Taylor – Manger, Bartlett Park Community Garden, Board Member, Sustainable Urban Agriculture Coalition (SUAC)
