Urban Farming in the Twin Cities


Urban Farming in the Twin Cities


Curated by Matt Gunther


Curious about the competing tensions between urban development and food production? This collection describes how people and organizations in the Twin Cities have attempted to negotiate that problem. 


Use: I teach sociology to undergraduates at the University of Minnesota, and I would like to use items in this collection to teach them about issues related to urban farming. 

Please feel free to use this collection in your own work!

Method: I've selected materials for this collection from user-submitted media pages in the FoodWords Scalar database. They are organized into the 5 thematic pages below.

(This is an open collection: If you find media in the FoodWords Scalar database that fits here, please suggest it using the "comment" button on the page where you think it should go!)
