As the San Diego area continues to grow, farms within and near urban areas will compete more for resources like land, water, energy, and labor. In this two-part Farm Bureau webinar series, we will explore peri-urban agriculture and a new paradigm for agriculture in San Diego from the viewpoint of a former University of California plant pathologist, farm advisor, and county director of Santa Clara County.
We will look at examples of successful San Diego County peri-urban farms and ways to develop a model to leverage opportunities and resources to re-vitalize existing farms so they become financially healthy and integrated into the local economy. The approach discussed will focus on creating a harmonious economic and ecological environment for peri-urban farms that is sustainable now and into the future.
