In 2024 and 2025, NCAT partnered with several organizations to host workshops throughout the Gulf States Region to teach producers about community gardening and urban farming. The following are resources some of these partners shared with participants as part of this project.

These resources are produced by the National Center for Appropriate Technology through the ATTRA Sustainable Agriculture program, under a cooperative agreement with USDA Rural Development. These resources were also made possible in part by funding from the USDA’s Natural Resources Conservation Service for the project titled “Keys to Starting and Managing Sustainable Urban Community Farms.”
