On April 29th, 2022, a group of 17 urban agriculture stakeholders in Lansing gathered at Foster Community Center for a scenario planning workshop.

During the workshop, Michigan State University (MSU) facilitators hosted a conversation using the workbook. Through the process, community members co-created actionable pathways toward a desirable future for urban agriculture in 20 years – i.e., 2042. The conversation led to three different scenarios that outline pathways toward a more resilient urban agriculture system:

(1) Urban Farming In the 21st Century: A South Lansing Vision

(2) Shared Processing Facility

(3) Urban Gardens Are a Source of Income and Community Resilience

This report presents the key findings from this activity. Download the file to read more about the results of this workshop!
