Description:
The Diggable City, a PSU Master of Urban and Regional Planning workshop project prepared for the City of Portland, Oregon, introduced a land inventory containing specific sites of publicly-owned properties where opportunities may exist to expand community gardens and other forms of urban agriculture in Portland.

"The Diggable City: Exploring the Potential for Urban Agriculture" serves to educate a wider audience on current trends toward localized food production. Through the lens of various urban farm projects and numerous in-depth interviews, the documentary depicts a compelling story about the value of this peculiar land use.

This new 25-minute documentary by PSU graduate planning students features interviews with local urban ag celebs Laura Masterson, Steve Johnson, Wisteria Loeffler, Toby Hemenway, and more!
