My guest on this episode of "Digging in the Dirt"is Tyson Gersh Co-founder & President of MUFI The Michigan Urban Farming Initiative, which is billed as the 1st sustainable U.S. "Agrihood". The Michigan Urban Farming Initiative is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that seeks to engage members of the Michigan community in sustainable agriculture.They believe that challenges unique to the Michigan community (e.g., vacant land, poor diet, nutritional illiteracy, and food insecurity) present a unique opportunity for community-supported agriculture. Using agriculture as a platform to promote education, sustainability, and community—while simultaneously reducing socioeconomic disparity—by doing this they hope to empower urban communities.
