The New
Agricultural Revolution
Local food for all!
The Association For Urban Farming is a non-profit organization that aims to transform urban areas into self-sustaining food systems.
Our goal is to create highly nutritious, locally grown produce that is accessible and available to all.
We have developed a scalable and replicable model to increase local food production and consumption in urban areas. Our platform is one of community engagement and social impact.
Through online and frontal activities we create and manage the necessary infrastructure for food production, including setting up infrastructure, training local activists and businesses. We research and develop new solutions, advise on policy and raise public knowledge and awareness.
Our solutions and services assist governments and municipalities to achieve sustainable development goals and develop resilient cities particularly in marginalized communities that live in food deserts and are already suffering from the food crisis.
