About Us
Background:
Founded in 2013, the NYC Agriculture Collective is a registered 501c3 nonprofit dedicated to the promotion of progressive urban agriculture and AgTech initiatives, food equity, and education in NYC.
The NYC Agriculture Collective has a vast network of local, national, and international partners, both public and private. These include some of the world’s leading vertical farms, an innovative non-profit using vertical farming to transform NYC public schools, top academic institutions, and urban agriculture advisory firms.
Impacts:
The NYC Agriculture Collective is the producer of both the events Fresh in February and NYC AgTech Week, one of the leading AgTech industry conferences in the world.
Along with the impacts from our industry events, our testimony and expertise has 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.
