COMMUNITY GARDENING & URBAN AGRICULTURE

Community Gardening & Urban Agriculture is co-designed and based on the emerging food security needs of the community, and to bridge gaps in the skilled agricultural workforce.

A focus on community capacity building for our vulnerable and migrant community members, as well as equity inclusion for all interested local and visiting people in the Northern Tasmania region.

Community Gardens Australia supports 23 community gardens across Northern Tasmania. This project would increase CGA’s capacity to extend to new communities to enhance skills, and access to locally grown, nutritious food.
