About Our Agriculture Community
The Albuquerque metro has a lively and robust local agricultural movement, and there are many ways to participate! Dozens of farms, gardens, and organizations working to bolster our local food economy and create sustainable and resilient agricultural systems throughout the City.
Farmers, gardeners, and individuals looking to get involved will find learn more resources, information about the City's local food web, a map of local farms and gardens, and volunteer and professional opportunities to grow skills in land, water, and food-system issues. Actors are commonly connected to national and international movement networks.
