urban agriculture

Urban agriculture refers to the practice of cultivating, processing, and distributing food in and around urban areas. This vital initiative promotes food security, improves health and wellbeing, and fosters community engagement. By converting vacant lots, rooftops, and community spaces into productive gardens and farms, urban agriculture can address various social justice issues, including poverty and access to healthy food. Discover ways to participate in urban farming initiatives, support local food systems, and advocate for policies that promote sustainable urban practices.
