Seeding Urban Ag Businesses

Over the last two years, GreenTech has explored how best to promote urban agriculture businesses within Boston including ground and roof based ventures.  Working with the Mayor’s Food Policy Director and BRA zoning experts, the City is taking its first steps toward a demonstration scale project that will help us learn about how to integrate commercial grade growing businesses in underutilized parcels.  The project will include community hearings and ultimately, will help inform development of an agricultural zoning provision.
