Project
Bernalillo County and FUSE are partnering to bring a newly acquired 34-acre agricultural open space to life for residents, students, and small growers. FUSE Executive Fellow Juperi Johnson will engage community and agency stakeholders, research successful agricultural hub models, and create fair, accessible lease templates for new farmers. This work will help the County move its master plan from planning into implementation. In the end, the land will serve as a place for residents to learn, gather, and grow agricultural businesses.
