Abstract

This project was completed as part of a partnership between Ramsey County and the University of Minnesota’s Resilient Communities Project (https://rcp.umn.edu/). The goal of this project was to identify opportunities and strategies for Ramsey County to engage, encourage, and support municipalities in their efforts to expand urban agriculture. Ramsey County project lead Cameran Bailey collaborated with a team of students in Dr. Jeannie Entenza’s course PA 8081: Leading Organizational & Community Change Capstone to research and analyze case studies of urban agriculture projects in comparable jurisdictions, creating a matrix to compare categories of interest to the County. A final student report and PowerPoint presentation slides from the project are available, as well as a fact sheet on community gardening and the scoring process students undertook to identify relevant projects.
