environmental issues, and a host of other public problems that urban
residents face. The emerging importance of urban agriculture as a solution
to many public problems is the focus of the 2007 Urban Agriculture in the
City Conference entitled, "Urban Agriculture: Changing the Way We Think
about Food, Hunger and Health." The conference will highlight research,
policies and programs from the grassroots and up that are utilizing urban
agriculture to address problems that relate to the health of producers,
