The Urban Agriculture team with Iowa State University Extension and Outreach is offering four Urban Agriculture Field Days in 2025, partnering with area urban farms. Local community members and those interested in urban agriculture are invited to attend.
This field day series provides an opportunity for urban farms and their communities to engage with local ISU Extension and Outreach offices, while learning about urban farming practices through onsite demonstrations.
Urban farms are essential to providing food security, sustainability, access to nutritious food and economic strength to urban communities, according to Iowa State’s urban agriculture outreach specialist, Graham Sandersfeld.
Each event will have a unique agenda but will generally include a tour of the host farm and a presentation of agricultural research from on-farm demonstrations during the 2025 growing season.
