City Schoolyard Garden
Students tend eight schoolyard gardens at Charlottesville City elementary, middle, and high schools. City Schoolyard Garden connects youth to where their food is grown, provides experiential learning, and invests in youth leaders.

Urban Agriculture Collective
Neighbors come together to grow and share produce at urban farms in public & subsidized housing sites. Urban Agriculture Collective continues a long standing effort to build bridges across differences through growing on public land and sharing at Community Market Days.

Food Justice Network
Nonprofits, public representatives, and community members come together to ignite dialogue, create policies, and implement practices so that all residents will have the food we need to thrive. Food Justice Network advocates for food equity.
“Food equity is racial equity. Charlottesville has an abundance of food and yet we still have one in six people facing food insecurity—with people of color facing hunger at higher rates than their white peers. We recognize that this is a systemic, not individual, failure. By re-calibrating power in our systems and strategies, we aim to ensure that food access is a right, not a privilege."
Jeanette Abi-Nader, Cultivate Charlottesville Executive Director
