Abstract

The Utah Urban and Small Farms Conference (USFC) provides outreach to new and existing small and urban agricultural producers facing urbanization and environmental challenges. The annual event attracts agricultural producers, home gardeners, stakeholders, and representatives and organizations in Utah and across the United States. Themed sessions given by producers, government personnel, and Extension faculty result in information adoption and implementation, community partnerships, and Extension educational outreach, influencing professional careers and urban agriculture governance. The USFC model may assist organizations and communities facing similar challenges, helping urban and small farmers navigate obstacles and opportunities through education and information sharing.
