Gives people the tools and know-how to grow food in their own yards.

Provides training opportunities and disseminates urban agriculture and gardening information, knowledge, and skills.
Policy Advocacy Initiative – established in 2005
Advocates for food justice in Oakland by raising awareness about and organizing people to support urban agriculture and equal access to healthy food.
