National Urban Agriculture Training
Program 1: Introduction to Urban AgricultureUrban agriculture provides essential services in across the U.S. The United States Department of Agriculture, the USDA, is committed to providing access to USDA programs for urban agriculture producers. The 2018 farm bill authorized the USDA to open an Office of Urban Agriculture and Innovative Production and for the Farm Service Agency, the FSA, to launch pilot urban county committees, among other initiatives.
The National Urban Agriculture Training from the National Urban Agriculture (NUag) Initiative introduces foundational concepts needed to understand urban agriculture and how working with urban growers may differ from, or be similar to, working with other USDA customers and stakeholders. This training will explore how increased support for urban agriculture from the USDA can contribute to more resilient local and national food systems.
Training learning goals
Participants in this training will:
-
Establish foundational knowledge of urban agriculture to inform effective USDA support of the factors that contribute to successful urban agriculture and innovative production
-
Develop the skills to increase outreach to and engagement with urban and innovative growers
Training learning objectives
Participants in this training will:- Identify the benefits of urban agriculture and innovative production
- Identify the factors that support successful urban agriculture and innovative production
- Describe the characteristics and conditions that are unique to urban agriculture and urban food systems
- Examine opportunities for the USDA to encourage and promote factors that contribute to successful urban agriculture and innovative production
- Design a personalized action plan
- Increase engagement with urban and innovative producers
You are currently enrolled in the first of two programs that comprise the National Urban Agriculture Training. This program is called "Program 1: Introduction to Urban Agriculture" and consists of six courses. After completing these courses, you will be enrolled in a Zoom session hosted by training instructors and urban growers. Following the Zoom session, you will be enrolled in "Program 2: Urban Agriculture Application," which consists of four courses. Navigate to "Course 1: Introduction" for more information and to get starter. Welcome!

Course 3: Recognizing Urban Agriculture
What is urban agriculture? Would you recognize it if you encountered it?
There is no one definition for urban agriculture, because urban agriculture is informed by the variety of contexts in which it is practiced. Urban agriculture, put simply, is agriculture in urban areas. Urban growers are physically close to their consumers, making them highly responsive to customer and community demands and needs. Because every community is distinct, urban agriculture can look a little different across and even within urban areas. But there are some helpful typologies we can use to better understand urban agriculture.
Course 3: Recognizing Urban Agriculture will provide examples of how urban agriculture is practiced so you can recognize it when you see it. To do this, we’ll explore the following topics:
- Production practices
- Markets
- Business structures
Learning Objectives
In this course, you will:
- Identify and distinguish between the production typologies, markets, and business structures common to urban agriculture operations.
- Evaluate how diversified production methods and models contribute to resilient food systems.
- Assess how urban and innovative production typologies, markets, and business structures may affect USDA program delivery.

National Urban Agriculture TrainingCourse 4: Urban Agriculture Benefits
Before envisioning how urban agriculture may be scaled in the future, it is important to understand the value of the benefits that urban agriculture provides. In Course 4: Urban Agriculture Benefits, we will explore these benefits, which include:
- Economic benefits
- Food provision
- Community development
- Ecosystem services
The multiplicity of benefits of urban agriculture, coupled with the proximity of urban agriculture operations to neighbors and consumers, influences grower motivations. Motivations have an impact on production practices and influence how to conduct outreach to urban growers. This course explores how these motivations are unique to urban agriculture and innovative production, and why that matters for the USDA.
Learning Objectives
In this course, you will:
- Identify the benefits of urban agriculture and evaluate the value of urban agriculture based on those benefits
- Evaluate how the benefits of urban agriculture motivate urban growers
- Analyze how urban agriculture could be scaled to address the needs of urban communities and urban food systems

Course 5: Innovative Production
The USDA's Office of Urban Agriculture and Innovative Production describes innovative production the following way:
“Innovative production is a diverse and dynamic area of agriculture, including indoor controlled environment agriculture, rooftop farms, outdoor vertical production, green walls, high-tech vertical farms, greenhouses, and hydroponic, aeroponic, or aquaponic farms. These operations are creating new and better markets, enhancing the competitiveness of specialty crops, and creating economic opportunities for the next generation of agricultural producers."
While there is no one definition of “innovative production,” in this training we will assume a definition of innovative that means to “make changes in something established, especially by introducing new methods, ideas, or products." This course explores some of the innovative production practices you are most likely to encounter in urban areas. We will briefly review soil-based, non-soil-based, and animal agriculture before illustrating specific examples of innovative production that may fall within, or span across, these typologies. In this course, we will examine the following approaches to innovative production:
- Intensive planting strategies
- Controlled environment agriculture
- Rooftop farming and building-integrated systems
- Urban food forests
- Agrihoods
- Urban pollinator habitats
- Innovative animal agriculture
Learning Objectives
In this course, you will:
- Identify and distinguish between different types of innovative production
- Evaluate the various benefits of innovative production
- Examine how the USDA can support innovative producers and the challenges innovative producers may face when seeking USDA assistance

Course 5 Video: Course 5 Recap and Next StepsThis video wraps up Course 5: Innovative Production. The unique constraints of urban growing, including the high cost of limited growing space, proximity to neighbors, and urban soil conditions, often lead urban farmers to explore innovative production practices. These practices come in many forms, from intensive planting strategies to controlled environment agriculture to insect agriculture. There is no one definition of innovative production, and this term can sometimes be misunderstood as only applying to high tech, indoor and controlled environment agriculture. However, as we have shown throughout this course, CEA is just one form of innovative agriculture that you may encounter in urban areas.Ultimately, one of the most innovative facets of urban agriculture is the connection between consumers and food production within a local food system. In many ways, urban agriculture perpetuates a culture of knowledge about cultivating, growing, harvesting, and processing food from generation to generation, skills that can be lost when centralized agricultural production happens away from population centers.You must watch all videos to receive credit for this course.

National Urban Agriculture TrainingCourse 6: Food System Resilience
Welcome to the final course in Program 1: Introduction to Urban Agriculture. A key theme of this training has been understanding how urban agriculture contributes to a stronger American food system. In this course, we’ll connect what we’ve learned so far with the overarching theme of creating resilient urban food systems, recap Program 1 materials, and offer you a few final opportunities to reflect on this content.
We will consider how scaling urban agriculture can result in more resilient supply chains, more resilient urban communities, and, ultimately, more resilient food systems positioned to withstand vulnerabilities caused by "wicked problems."Learning Objectives
In this course, you will:
Examine the training content in the context of food system resilience
Appraise urban agriculture's contribution to more resilient food systems
