About the Urban Agriculture Strategy
The City of Mississauga’s Parks, Forestry & Environment Division is working towards creating an urban agriculture strategy that will help identify the City’s role in supporting Corporate and community efforts to increase urban-scale food production across Mississauga.
Through the strategy, the City of Mississauga will work to encourage healthier lifestyles, empower the community to learn new skills about growing and harvesting produce and support local businesses with ties to urban agriculture.

Plant food in public parks. Instead of flower gardens, have fresh herb gardens.
Plant herbs and veggies which will continue to grow year after year. And then post these locations to an app / web page where people can go to get fresh herbs / veggies for cooking. Some examples of veggies / herbs which grow each year could be: Chives, Certain green onions, Berry bushes, etc.
