Bridget Duffy: Intern Spotlight
The world of urban agriculture is so vast and varied, in ways I could have never imagined before this summer. From backyard planters to goat pens to hundreds of acres of woodland, Baltimore City agriculture has an incredible community. My name is Bridget Duffy, I am from Ellicott City, MD, and I am a Sustainable Agriculture Certificate Candidate at the Institute of Applied Agriculture. This summer I was a Workforce Development Intern at the Baltimore City Extension Office. My main responsibility was to work on a research team, helping to map food self-provisioning networks in Baltimore City. I was tasked mostly with transcribing audio, inputting demographic data, typing field notes, and other similar tasks on days I spent in the office, which was the majority of my summer.
