After nearly a decade of research, discussion, and hard work, the revised Urban Food Zoning Code is finally official! City Council passed the ordinance to remove barriers to urban food production and distribution activities such as market gardens, farmers markets, and food-buying clubs. Thanks to the many community stakeholders for their tenacity, diligence, and wise counsel that guided this process over the years.

It’s one more step toward making Portland a prosperous, healthy, educated, and equitable city.
