Food Share

Growing food in our cities, right where we live, is something that we need to do. Not sometime in the future but right now, before we forget how or the land is put to "better" use by being paved over or built upon. Community gardening and urban agriculture are two ways in which FoodShare is attempting to re-establish this essential and intimate connection with the food we eat. FoodShare tries to take a multifaceted, innovative and long-term approach to hunger and food issues. This means that we're involved in diverse actions: grassroots program delivery, advocacy for social assistance reform, job creation and training, community garden program, nutrition education, farmland preservation and campaigns for comprehensive food labelling are just a few examples of the areas we work in.
