Welcome to the Ohio Urban Agriculture Resource Hub
Urban agriculture is thriving across Ohio. From backyard plots and school gardens to community gardens and commercial urban farms, people in urban and suburban areas across the state are growing fresh produce and other value-added products for the families and local communities. Urban agriculture supports local food access, community development, environmental and social benefits, and economic opportunities – making it a vital part of Ohio’s urban landscape.
The goal of the Ohio Urban Agriculture Resource Hub is to serve as a centralized platform for evidence-based information and available services and resources that support urban growers, educators, researchers, and community partners.
On this website you will find:
Urban Crop Production: Information on soil-based and soilless growing systems, pest and disease management, environmental control, food safety, and more.
Urban Farm Management: Support for business planning, funding opportunities, workforce development, risk management, marketing, and more.
Urban Community Engagement: Information on how to better engage with urban communities to expand impact.
News and Events: Current urban ag news, events, and training opportunities.
