The Urban Farming Initiative has released the latest episode of the Circular Food Podcast, which highlights its partnership with 80 Acres Farms as part of its mission to coordinate circular food systems in neighborhoods and cities. While both organizations are passionate about sustainable agriculture, each brings unique strengths to serve their communities. Renee Camplese, Head of Commercial Special Projects, effectively spoke about 80 Acres Farms' growing global expertise and how it will impact local food systems and communities.
The Urban Farming Initiative focuses on coordinating comprehensive food systems—from growing and processing to distribution and recycling—to create a lasting positive impact in neighborhoods. Through its circular food system approach, it connects community gardens, local partners, and buyers to build self-sustaining regional food networks.
80 Acres Farms complements this mission with its expertise in controlled environment agriculture (CEA). Together, they are working to integrate advanced growing techniques into broader community food systems, making fresh, locally-grown produce more accessible while creating workforce development opportunities that strengthen neighborhoods.
