Planning and Zoning for Urban Agriculture
The Greater KC Food Policy Coalition is advocating for planning and zoning policies that ensure urban farmers are able to operate successfully.
Navigating Planning and Zoning
Urban farmers need easily accessible, easy-to-understand information about planning and zoning. That is why we developed an online resource to help urban farmers across the region navigate planning process and zoning ordinances.
