Urban Agriculture Network

National Collaboration for Local Impact

What We Do

We support city farms and the community infrastructure to make them effective. A climate-smart urban grower can feed people without feeding climate change. City farms can create jobs and build communities. They cool neighborhoods, clean air, and help manage flooding. And they are a better choice than distant megafarms that fuel the climate crisis.

We convene as a whole four times a year, and meet as needed in small working groups to explore topics and report our results back to the Network. We also keep in touch with a monthly email newsletter.

This group is a join project of Los Angeles Climate Reality Project and San Fernando Valley Climate Reality. Everyone is welcome.
