I'm involved with the <a href="https://www.gilltractfarm.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Gil Tract Community Farm</a> in Berkeley, California, a fourteen acre plot of land owned by the University of California that has been used for agricultural research but that is now under tremendous pressure to be converted into student housing. The community has pushed back however and has struggled to convince the University that the land must remain dedicated for agricultural purposes, namely as an urban farm and education center.

as a land grant university community which it was founded to serve would be better served
