Where Do Farms Fit in American Cities?

Environmental justice activists from GreenRoots Chelsea will join urban farmers from Mansfield, Ohio to discuss the regeneration of American cities from the ground up. Speakers will compare notes on the environmental condition of urban lands, the communities that urban farms serve, and the political strategies that have been successful in each city.
