As part of its endeavor to build new metrics for the urban agriculture sector and to share data to demonstrate its impact.
The Mayor’s Office of Urban Agriculture (MOUA) is announcing the release of the MOUA Urban Agriculture Data Explorer Hub, a free, public interactive mapping tool and dashboard. Launched during a demonstration at the first-ever NYC Urban Agriculture Data Convening at Pier 57 in Manhattan, the Urban Agriculture Data Explorer Hub allows users to explore and contribute information about urban agriculture sites across New York City. Nearly 3,000 farms and gardens have already been identified in the data map and dashboard.
“Historically, there hasn’t been a system for ensuring there’s comprehensive data collection and reporting when it comes to the city’s urban agriculture landscape,” said Mayor’s Office of Urban Agriculture Executive Director Qiana Mickie. “We wanted to design a data collection strategy that would give New Yorkers access to relevant and updated urban agriculture information. This means more residents will be aware of the breadth of farms and gardens in the city and critical activities happening at these sites such as reducing food insecurity, strengthening community engagement, and providing educational programming available to all. Having more of this information available in one hub means it can also better inform our upcoming policy initiatives.”
“Urban agriculture means increasing healthy food production, growing business opportunities for emerging entrepreneurs, and creating more accessible spaces of wellness for families across New York,” said Mayor’s Office of Climate & Environmental Justice Executive Director Elijah Hutchinson. “Better data can help us increase these vital growing greenspaces like school gardens and urban farms while we also democratize data – a key principle of environmental justice.”
