The Presentations are focused on getting to know what people are coming up with and how we can work together better to create a local food economy. We have ten different 20-minute presentations by ten different green entrepreneurs, organizations and backyard experimenters. During that time there will be demonstrations and tables showing off local businesses and organizations involved in urban agriculture.
