Urban farming through community voices

Seventeen first-person accounts from junior farmers, volunteers, elders, and leaders frame Plantation Park Heights Urban Farm as both a place to grow food and a shared community space in Baltimore. The collection connects access to healthy, affordable food with broader questions of food sovereignty, food apartheid, racial justice, immigration, and emotional and mental health. Its intergenerational perspectives also consider how the farm supports community ties and the next generation of urban farmers, presenting urban agriculture as a local effort with social dimensions beyond cultivation.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • People interested in urban farming and community-based food access
  • Readers exploring food sovereignty, racial justice, and immigration
  • Those interested in intergenerational community projects and urban agriculture
