Recently, our sister brand of CEAg World (under the Meister Media Worldwide umbrella) highlighted an upcoming webinar from Agritecture, titled “Advancing Agricultural Systems in Cities,” where the company’s survey results related to urban agriculture production and sustainability issues will be shared, discussed, and explained. Here’s an overview of the webinar and registration information for those interested:
