Listening Sessions: The Future Workforce for Building-Integrated Agriculture
As cities grow denser and more climate-conscious, Building-Integrated Agriculture (BIA) is emerging as a powerful solution—transforming rooftops, facades, and vacant urban spaces into vibrant, food-producing environments. But as this field evolves, one big question remains: What kind of workforce will it take to build and sustain it?
We invite professionals working at the intersection of design, construction, engineering, architecture, and agriculture to join us for an upcoming listening session focused on workforce development for BIA.
These sessions are designed to gather insights directly from those shaping the built environment today. What skills are missing? Where are the hiring gaps? How can we better prepare the next generation of workers to thrive in this cross-sector, sustainability-focused industry?
Your expertise will help inform future programs, training pathways, and partnerships that support both industry innovation and worker readiness in this exciting field.
