In an effort to help urban farms and kickstart a new wave of urban farmers, the city has launched The Urban Agriculture Fellowship Program.

PHOENIX — It’s hard not to be drawn in by the lofty prose of Angelica Willis-Smith. To speak with her is to speak little and absorb the emotions that imbue her words.“Most people have no clue, no idea, don’t know the first thing about what it takes to put a seed in the ground," Willis-Smith said. “And it’s the one thing every person’s ancestors have been doing since the beginning of time. It’s the one thing that connects every person on this planet. It’s farming. It’s cultivating.

“For people like myself who are young, single, who are out here living in the world, there’s not a push to get us back into the work of the earth," she said. In the last 30 years, urban farming has grown more than 30%. It’s hailed as one path to bring food security to areas with little. That’s why more cities are taking a vested interest.“There is an entire generation out there," Rossell said,"that are interested in where their food comes from and learning how to grow food.”
