Summary
Gain hands-on research experience on a very important and current topic! This project examines the innovations that are being undertaken by urban growers and the organizations that support them to adapt to the impacts that the COVID-19 pandemic has had on their businesses and livelihoods. By gathering data in three places (District of Columbia, Prince George’s County, MD and Arlington County, VA) that are in geographic proximity and are interconnected socially, economically, and politically, this study aims to place the adaptation strategies of individual urban agriculture projects in broader municipal and regional contexts.
