Millions of dollars have been allocated by the city of Phoenix to continue efforts to protect urban farmland from being developed and to protect the livelihood of farmers and those they feed.
Rodney Machokoto is an urban farmer and says his passion is what he considers a life calling. His journey to this quarter acre of tomatoes at Spaces of Opportunity has been long and frustrating as his first plot of land vanished last year.
To grow this important part of Phoenix, Rosanne Albright with the city says the millions were set aside to give to urban farmers, so they don’t sell it for housing.
