Excerpt:
The National Science Foundation has awarded the University of St. Thomas in Minnesota a $363,000 research grant to study the impacts of urban agriculture. The grant comes as the popularity of urban farms, backyard plots and community gardens continue to grow in the U.S. amid a changing climate.
The project, “Measuring Ecosystem Services from Urban Agriculture” will focus on identifying the benefits from a variety of urban farms and gardens. Benefits include water filtration and atmosphere cooling, according to biology faculty Chip Small and Eric Chapman. They hope to assess how urban agriculture may be part of a city’s overall strategy for climate adaptation.
“With urban agriculture, there are a ton of benefits, but it’s a complex issue for cities to grapple with during a time of climate change,” Small said. “We hope to help identify the potential benefits and tradeoffs so that our leaders have the context to develop policies that protect their communities and the ecosystems they are part of.”
