INTERACTIVE MAP IS LIVE!

We're excited to unveil the first global map of urban agriculture on the AVF website. This interactive map features data from vertical farms, community gardens, and greenhouses around the world. We have been working hard to survey companies and organizations to build a single robust source for tracking urban agriculture globally. Not only does this map offer the locations of vertical and urban farms, but it also tells you whether or not they use artificial light, what their primary purpose is, how and if they are integrated into existing structures, and much, much more. Check out the map clicking the image above. Take part by submitting your urban farm through our questionnaire.
