The experts at the Brooklyn Queens Land Trust will show you how to track data on your harvest. Participants will receive the Five Borough Farm Data Collection Toolkit, the first publicly accessible set of protocols to collect data on urban agriculture.

Registration for this workshop is required. Please email zachary.schulman@bqlt.org.

The Five Borough Farm Data Collection Toolkit contains detailed protocols to help farmers and gardeners keep records and tell meaningful stories about the value of their work on subject areas like rainwater harvesting, compost production, and the numerous social benefits provided by each garden. Learn more about the Five Borough Farm project.

Outreach Fellows Liz Barry and Phil Silva collaborated with Farming Concrete to develop a robust set of protocols to quantify the myriad benefits farms and gardens offer NYC, and recruited 30 farmers and gardeners to field test the tools over the 2014 growing season.
