Updated Link: Urban Agriculture Survey: Please Share Your Thoughts!

Update 8/26/20: Correct link to survey is: udc.iad1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_3t0bgrmjwRG0WTH.

All NJ counties (except Salem) are classified as urban, so anyone farming in NJ is an Urban agriculturalist. That said, Rutgers University is collaborating with Land Grant schools across the Northeast U.S. to gather your experiences and thoughts about urban agriculture.

I invite you to please fill out this survey to help us get a better understanding of what urban agriculture looks like and how Extension can better serve urban farmers!

The survey should take less than 30 minutes to complete. It is open to all individuals who are at least 18 years old and grow food plants or engage in other agriculture in urban areas in the Northeastern U.S. The survey is available online at udc.iad1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_3t0bgrmjwRG0WTH.

This research has been approved by the University of Maryland Institutional Review Board (project # 1013685-4). If you have any questions, please contact Neith Little at nglittle@umd.edu and Dr. Matthew Richardson at matthew.richardson@udc.edu
