Urban Agriculture (UrbanAdamah.org)

UrbanDamah.org is an educational farm and community center in Berkeley, California, based in the Jewish tradition. The organization provides educational programs and community celebrations for more than 10,000 visitors annually. Among their many facets is a core focus on workshops which teach students how to utilize regeneerative ecological design thinking and practices to build successful, vibrant, urban farms. Such techniques depend on small scale wildernesses, from the soil biota to small tree stands, wildlife corridors, and intentional ecotones.
