From rooftops to vacant lots, Heifer International’s Urban Agriculture program is growing goodness, changing lives and building communities in the heart of North America’s big cities. Heifer supports grassroots organizations that help communities reclaim and support local food systems.
Inner-city youth learn entrepreneurial skills and the value of healthy eating by planting vegetables, growing flowers, and selling produce to local markets. Immigrants share community gardens and their indigenous agricultural practices, which builds bridges between cultures. Disabled citizens use therapeutic gardening to reconnect with the earth and their communities.
