Event We Love: Modeling a Successful Urban Agriculture Business
From 6 PM to 9 PM on Wednesday, November 8, Anastasia Cole Plakias, Co-Founder of Brooklyn Grange Rooftop Farm, will give a talk on Agriculture Business and how to create a successful contemporary model for an urban agriculture business in a metropolis like New York City.
The goal of the talk is to present a framework for thinking creatively about new opportunities for farming in cities, with actionable insight on how to design financial stability, ecological sustainability, and social value into a business plan.
This event will take place at Brooklyn Grange (63 Flushing Avenue in Brooklyn, New York).
According to the event listing, Anastasia will cover a range of topics, including: “different business entities a budding urban farmer might consider; the various goals, benefits and challenges of urban agriculture; the range of physical models–from aeroponics to aquaponics to soil-based farming–and business structures, and how each one addresses respective goals and challenges; various enterprises for the diversified urban farm, from flowers to bees to mushrooms to events, and more!”
