Urban Agriculture Activity Plan Update

Via a May 28 e-newsletter from the Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board:

The Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board (MPRB) Planning Committee held a public hearing for the Urban Agriculture activity plan last Wednesday evening, May 21st at 6:30 p.m.  Thank you to the many individuals and community organizations who spoke to the Committee during the public hearing.  The entire MPRB meeting is rebroadcast on Minneapolis 79, or can be watched online.  

The Planning Committee asked staff to revise the plan to address requests for specific racial equity considerations, and to present a modified activity plan to the Planning Committee at a future meeting date.  The Board of Commissioners  meets on the first and third Wednesday evening of each month.  Updates on the progress of the activity plan will be posted to this email list, media outlets, and the Project Page on the MPRB website. 

The Urban Agriculture activity plan was developed through an extensive community engagement process and contains recommendations related to policy, facility, program, and service improvements to better support urban agriculture within the Minneapolis park system. Activity plans define the MPRB’s service delivery goals for a particular recreation activity city-wide. These plans determine the resources required to successfully achieve plan goals in service to residents and park visitors.

Community outreach and research, trend analysis, program analysis, and infrastructure assessment are used to develop service delivery goals for all MPRB Activity Plans. The development of the Urban Agriculture activity plan is supported by the Board of Commissioners and directly linked to the goals of the MPRB Comprehensive Plan.
