Beginning Farmer Workshops: Urban Agriculture and Policy

This module explores the civic and community impacts of urban farming, preparing participants to engage with policies, elected officials, and neighborhood associations while considering environmental, economic, and social benefits for a successful urban farm.

Kalamazoo Valley Community College will be hosting a series of workshops for beginning farmers based on new curricula developed by a team of beginning farmer educators across Michigan.

These free workshops will be an opportunity to learn farming skills and provide feedback on the new curriculum modules.

All workshops will be held from 5:30-8:30 PM at the Kalamazoo Valley Community College Food Innovation Center, located at
224 E Crosstown Pkwy, Kalamazoo, MI 49001.
