Bringing Together New York’s Urban Farm Educators

February 27, 2016

$5

Keynote address by Manhattan Borough President, Gale Brewer.

With the rise of urban agriculture comes the rise of urban agriculture education.
Though many food and farm conferences have surfaced over the years, City Growers’ Education Conference (CGEC) will be the first of its kind. CGEC is tasked with bringing together urban farm education programs, gardeners, non-profits, and teachers to celebrate and share knowledge about farming and gardening education in New York City. Through farm education, we aim to create myriad opportunities for youth to meaningfully interact with the natural world and reconnect with food’s origin from the earth.

Registration is $5 and includes breakfast and lunch by Dig Inn. Register today!
