Growing Food and People through Urban Farming
This past fall, a group of Pratt undergraduate students worked with the community-based nonprofit Harlem Grown to imagine ways to enhance access to nutritious food for families near two urban farms located in food-scarce neighborhoods. In Harlem Grown: Cultivating the Urban Food Desert, a studio taught by Visiting Assistant Professor of Interior Design Charles Newman, students investigated the spatial, infrastructural, and technological challenges faced by Harlem Grown and worked with them to improve their sites.
