A 5-part Virtual Conference for Farmers, Policy-makers, Educators, and Food Systems Stakeholders

Winter ‘21 - Spring ‘22

Washington State University in partnership with Oregon State University produced “Farming on the Urban Edge”, a series of online Conference sessions throughout winter 2021 - spring 2022. The online series launched the new Peri-Urban Agriculture Network. The mission of this initiative is for farmers, policy-makers, educators and food system stakeholders to learn strategies to improve the viability of farming in urbanizing areas, and ways that communities can sustain and enhance the growth of peri-urban farms and food economies. 

The “Farming on the Urban Edge” Conference Series 2021-22 was structured as five online interactive events to address different aspects of urbanization and farm viability.
