Lankenau Environmental Science High School, 201 Spring Lane, Philadelphia, PA 

The Philadelphia Society for Promoting Agriculture (PSPA) is delighted to launch its 2024-2025 Program Year Call with “Philly Connects: Agriculture and Environment Working Together”. Consistent with prior years of past agricultural presentations, PSPA welcomes expressions of interest from agricultural communities that support activities which focus on ecology, sustainability, agroecology, natural resource management, urban forestry, urban growing, agricultural education, and other issues, trends and ideas related to the greater Philadelphia region growing and greening. 

Increasingly, the agriculture and environmental communities are realizing the commonality of their missions and coming together with policies and projects that are mutually beneficial. No place is that more evident than in Philadelphia where soil and water issues are not only paramount in the public space but also in the growing urban agriculture sector.  This program offers multiple opportunities for persons from soil, water, and agriculture to raise and highlight some of those issues.
