Urban agriculture strategy

Urban agriculture is the practice of growing, processing, sharing and distributing food in a city. It’s an important part of the City’s climate mitigation and adaptation strategy. Examples include community gardens, farmers markets, composting and food waste reduction.

In 2022, City Council approved the Urban Agriculture Strategy. It encourages healthier lifestyles, supports communities’ existing skills related to growing and harvesting produce, empowers communities in learning new skills, improves food security and supports local businesses.
