The NYC Agriculture Collective

We Are An Urban Agriculture Nonprofit Driving AgTech Policy, Education, and Opportunities for the Future of NYC

Founded in 2014, the NYC Agriculture Collective is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to the promotion of progressive urban agriculture and AgTech initiatives, food equity, and education in NYC. The NYC Agriculture Collective is the host and producer of the annual NYC AgTech Week conference.

In addition to the impacts of NYC AgTech Week and our other industry events, our testimony and expertise contributed to the creation of the Office of Sustainability in the NYC Mayor's Office, the passing of Bill 1661-A, the Green Roofs Act, and former Brooklyn Borough President Eric Adams New Agrarian Economy Report. We are funded solely through grants, individual and institutional donations and sponsorships.
