Urban Farm DB summary

Between summer 2008 and spring 2009, an inventory identified open space owned by public agencies within the city limits of Oakland, California, that could support urban agriculture. The project mapped Oakland's public commons land to inform food, health and environmental policy decisions and to help nonprofits and city officials identify candidate sites for urban agriculture programs.
