"One of MOUA’s first priorities was building a complete picture of urban agriculture across the city, and making that information available to the public. The office created the Urban Agriculture Data Explorer Hub, an interactive platform that maps food production across all five boroughs. The tool has cataloged 2,580 sites so far: #SchoolGardens, #UrbanFarms, #CommunityGardens, #IndoorAgriculture businesses, and underutilized city-owned land. Users can sort by borough, zip code, land management type, and food production status, then click on individual locations for more detail. The platform will eventually also track wellness programs, commercial activity, and climate mitigation efforts. Its crowdsourced design allows community members to contribute information that official records miss, creating a more complete picture over time."

Three Years In, New York’s #UrbanAgriculture Office Has Delivered

by Haley Schusterman, January 20, 2026

"Three years in, the office is delivering on its full mandate. It built its own relationships with community leaders and advocates, launched education programs connecting students to working #farms, opened pathways for #SmallFarmers to sell to city institutions, mapped the city’s urban agriculture landscape, and pushed for procurement reform that could redirect how the city spends its food dollars. The office is working to change how eight million #NewYorkers grow, buy, and think about food, using urban agriculture as a lever for #ClimateAction, #EnvironmentalJustice, #FoodAccess, workforce development, and economic #resilience."

The Mayor’s Office of Urban Agriculture (MOUA) isn’t a household name. Given what it’s…

Snailey loves dandelion. If I get it farm-fresh, it still has parts of the root on and will grow in the terrarium. Snailey estivates when it’s hot out so we haven’t been treated to a quiet meditation in a few weeks. #snaileySunday #silentSunday #meditateWithSnailey #dandelion #farm #tkaronto #toronto #urban #urbanFarms
