The goal of this Visioning Summit is to identify critical challenges, barriers, benefits, and opportunities as we create a network of professionals to further develop building-integrated agriculture. We will work together to: 

  • identify key challenges of building-integrated agriculture;
  • explore approaches used in other cities across the globe to address these challenges; and
  • synthesize this information to identify priority research, education, and implementation areas for improving design, adoption, and economic sustainability of building-integrated agriculture.

The Visioning Summit will be organized to facilitate collaborative learning, research, education, and extension program development, and collaborative networks across disciplines and domains involved in building-integrated agriculture. The physical location of the meeting will be Portland, Oregon, but there will also be a hybrid option.

PLEASE SAVE THE DATE: September 17-19, 2024
