The goal of the project is to strengthen the capacity of food producers to grow food locally, help growers find markets for their produce, make connections with institutions, schools, restaurants and stores. The project includes 9 non-profit organizations all working on food production, community outreach and education. Activities include: a garden installation project for public housing residents in Columbia, an urban commercial farm production and education project, capacity building for three non-profit organizations promoting local food production in the Missouri River valley, garden education activities in schools and after school programs, and capacity building for local farmers markets.
