Abstract
On a vacant lot in southeast Washington, D.C., just across the street from the Capitol Heights metro station, you can find the city’s newest and largest urban farm. The 1.2 hectare East Capitol Urban Farm hosts research plots, a farmer’s market, a mobile kitchen, a community garden, walking trails, and a playground, and soon it will produce fresh fish and vegetables in a high-tunnel aquaponics system. The farm is the first in a network of urban food hubs planned through a broad coalition of partnerships led by the University of the District of Columbia’s College of Agriculture, Urban Sustainability and Environmental Sciences (CAUSES).
