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.
