We want to know how we can support our community to grow and share food locally.

The feedback we receive will be used to update our Urban Agriculture Strategy for the next four years.

Urban agriculture can include many activities, like growing herbs on your balcony or setting up a community garden with neighbours.

Supporting urban agriculture is important to us because it gives people access to fresh and healthy food, and the chance to connect with neighbours and friends.

The purpose of our urban agriculture strategy is to support a strong food growing culture in Yarra so everyone can get involved in producing and sharing their own food.

We’re asking our community to tell us if we’re still on track and what we need to include in the new strategy to help us do better.
