Food insecurity continues to impact millions of Americans — from large urban centers to rural heartlands. At EJWF, we support urban agriculture and food sustainability programs to build stronger, healthier communities.
Turning Empty Lots into Full Plates
In neighborhoods like South Chicago and Baltimore, EJWF backs community-led efforts to convert vacant lots into urban farms. These spaces not only grow produce but also serve as educational hubs for nutrition, composting, and sustainable living.
Feeding People & the Planet
Our initiatives combine fresh food access with job training, offering pathways for formerly incarcerated individuals and unemployed youth to reenter the workforce with purpose.
Urban agriculture is more than gardening — it’s a movement for equity, sustainability, and empowerment.
