Thanks to a grant from the National Association of Conservation Districts, the Prince George’s Soil Conservation District launched an Urban Ag Conservation program in 2018. Learn how the District worked with partners in Prince George’s County, Maryland to expand opportunities for agriculture through urban farm legislation and a property tax credit for landowners engaged in urban agriculture activities. In addition, this session will introduce a brief history of urban farming in Prince George’s County, explore a few successful urban farm enterprises and the opportunities and challenges they face, and share a preview of what’s on the horizon.
