A team of young people
Reimagining food security
|
by planting seeds of hope in the fight against hunger.
|
here's how |
We build urban farms for homeless shelters and schools in underprivileged communities
It only takes 3 steps for Urban Beet to create lasting change in a community
|
Step 1Build an urban farm at a homeless shelter.
We identify shelters in need of fresh food and build them productive, beautiful community gardens at no cost.
|
STEP 2Provide regenerative farming education
We teach people experiencing homelessness how to grow food in harmony with the planet using our educational materials. We strive create a community of caring and curiosity at our farms .
|
|
|
Step 3Host community workdays
We ensure the farm remains happy, healthy, and in the hands of the people it serves by hosting community workdays to facilitate togetherness and connection in our gardens.
|
We're Connecting People and the planet for the healing of both
We practice and teach regenerative agriculture, a set of farming techniques that collectively build healthy soil to sequester carbon underground
Being around healthy soil makes us feel relaxed and happier by stimulating serotonin production
Healthy soil changes everything
Plants and soil microorganisms work together to capture carbon from the air and store it underground. Not to mention, they provide 95% of the world's food.
|
By harming soil life with toxic pesticides and tilling machines, humankind has disrupted soil life and the natural carbon capture process, accelerating global climate change and food insecurity.
