some ideas!
- Establish a network linking food growers to available land such as home owner backyards
- Increase in urban farms, greenhouses and community gardens on institutional lands such as schools, places of worship, universities, community centres
- Connecting more black, Indigenous and youth of colour to land/urban ag through programming, mentorship, increased land access and farming opportunities
- Land back, land access for Indigenous food growers
- Farmers markets that prioritize diverse vendors and culturally appropriate foods representative of Mississauga
- More large scale teaching gardens with educational opportunities, as well as farmers market/small business skills development for prospective farmers
- Incubator farm opportunities for new farmers, youth, food leaders etc.
- More rooftop gardens!
- Community food composting programs on site at urban farm locations
- Pop-up produce stalls on-site at urban farms
