Architecture of Urban Rooftop Farming and Question of Food Equity in the City
Mary is a leading community activist, public speaker, and mentor who specializes in Urban farming.
She holds a Master’s degree in Sustainability Leadership from a distinguished university in Sweden,
and was featured in St. Louis Business Journal 40 under 40. Her background in Architecture and
Sustainability Leadership combined with her interest in food equity led her to form
Urban Harvest STL in 2011.
Urban Harvest Stl. builds community around inclusive and resilient local food systems.They believe in
food rights and that all members of the community should have equitable access to fresh, healthy food
regardless of socioeconomic status, race or location. Urban Harvest grows healthy produce across a network
of six urban farms in downtown and North St. Louis and donate the majority of the harvest to nonprofit
partners serving communities with limited or non-existent access to healthy, nutritious food. Urban
Harvest STL also educates and engages the surrounding community in these efforts.
