Michigan State University and partners are convening urban farmers and urban agriculture (UA) stakeholders to:

  1. Enhance a statewide urban farmer network by bridging existing connections
  2. Identify obstacles to accessing resources and ways to enhance UA through collaborative, community led research, initiatives, and funding streams
  3. Highlight existing resources available from local orgs to federal government

This event is free and includes a light breakfast and lunch.  Registration is required. The convening will feature facilitated sessions to engage attendees in networking, sharing knowledge and ideas. Data collected will be synthesized by community partners and shared out to determine next steps (e.g. formalizing a network, planning future events, mobilizing resources, etc.).

Lodging and dinner for the evening prior to the event will be available at the Candlewood Suites East Lansing for a limited number of participants. This is intended for those avoiding early morning travel. Interest in this offer will be gathered in the event registration. The deadline to register for lodging and dinner is January 31, 2025.
