Strengthening a community of urban farmers and gardeners across Milwaukee County and beyond
In the early 1990s, a passionate group at the Institute saw the value of bridging rural-urban divides through sustainable farming, sparking several years of hosting an Urban Rural Conference. Collaborating with many Milwaukee groups, MFAI celebrated their efforts to form the Milwaukee Urban Agriculture Network (MUAN). After a quiet period, MUAN is back and growing good in the neighborhood and beyond.
Facilitated by MFAI, MUAN connects Milwaukee-area residents with education, resources, and networks through potlucks, webinars, and field days. MUAN is partnering with UW Extension and established urban agriculture organizations across Milwaukee County and through the Upper Midwest to support strong regional networks where organizations support one another and collaborate.
