In late 2013 we set about planning our first major conference as the newly established Resnick Program in Food Law and Policy at UCLA Law School. Despite the expansive range of topics encompassed by food

The resurgence of urban agriculture reflects a variety of trends in American culture, including the continuing salience of the Jeffersonian vision and dissatisfaction with many aspects of the modern food system.

To these ends, advocates have fought to reverse a century of laws and policies aimed at removing agriculture from city life.
