The Boston Urban Agriculture Recommendations is a project in partnership between MAPC, GrowBoston (the City of Boston’s urban agriculture initiative), and the Urban Farming Institute (UFI).

The project aims to increase food production in the City with a particular focus on the neighborhoods of Roxbury, Dorchester, Mattapan, and East Boston.

Project Context

A key goal of this project is to develop urban agriculture recommendations with Boston residents living and working in neighborhoods that have historically been underinvested in. By collaborating with representatives of these areas through Neighborhood Committees to design and host community events, the project aims to create urban agriculture recommendations that prioritizes these neighborhoods. The MAPC and GrowBoston project team is currently convening the Neighborhood Committees and working with them to co-design four community events in Roxbury, Dorchester, Mattapan, and East Boston.
