More Than Food Grows at Community Gardens and Urban Farms

In this episode of Voices from the Field, NCAT Sustainable Agriculture Specialists Felicia Bell and Nina Prater talk about what these two types of enterprises are and the differences between them, why they are so beneficial, what some of their challenges are, and what resources are available for folks interested in getting started in either community gardens or urban farms.
