Cultivating change in Houston
Houston, the bustling metropolis of Texas, is a dynamic blend of southern charm and cosmopolitan flair. Known for its vibrant culture, impressive skyline and diverse population, the city encourages innovation and progress. By adopting urban agriculture initiatives, Houston can reap significant benefits, such as reducing its ecological footprint, promoting food security, strengthening community engagement and fostering a healthier urban environment that harmonizes with nature.
Local food resilience
By coming to Houston, we aim to bring the benefits of urban agriculture to the city by reducing its dependence on distant food sources, increasing local food resilience, mitigating food deserts and promoting sustainable practices that contribute to a greener, more self-sufficient city.
