Secretary of Agriculture: Agriculture is Strengthening Food Access in Urban Centers, Growing Resilient Communities

Agriculture Secretary Russell Redding traveled from Erie to Pittsburgh, Harrisburg to Philadelphia, and from Easton to Wilkes-Barre this week in honor of Pennsylvania's 5th Annual Urban Agriculture Week, visiting 19 urban agriculture organizations directly addressing food insecurity, improving quality of life, and sparking economic development and entrepreneurship.

"This week, we traveled the commonwealth to celebrate and uplift food system leaders who are changing the trajectory of urban communities through food and agriculture," said Redding. "Food is a basic human right, but it is a right that is often taken for granted. Many of the urban gardens and farms seen this week started because of needs seen within communities. It is a humbling moment to hear these stories, but it is also a moment for hope. Hope that agriculture is creating a more equitable table for all, regardless of ZIP code."

Speakers Include:
Ross Marcus, The Neighborhood Center executive director
Rep. Bob Freeman, 136th District, Northampton County
Rep. Eddie Day Pashinski, 121st District, Luzerne County
Lamont McClure, Northampton County Executive
Sal Panto, Easton Mayor
Agriculture Secretary Russell Redding
