Kent "Kip" Curtis

My work is laser focused on developing systems that support small scale and urban farming, from farmer recruitment to small farm and cooperative management. Our farmers demonstrate that agroecology can be a driving principle in successful small scale farming and our models offer research sites in which to explore innovation and improvement in agroecological outputs.  I am currently building a research and engagement project to cultivate successful farming on the small farm scale. Approaching the rural-urban space as a continuum in which small farms struggle to survive, I work to facilitate sustainable local farming systems and to train sustainable farmers.
