Southside Community Land Trust provides access to land, education and other resources so people in Greater Providence can grow food in environmentally sustainable ways and create community food systems where locally produced, affordable, and healthy food is available to all.

PURPOSE

Our purpose is to increase sustainable urban food production in five ways by:

  1. Teaching people how to grow food;

  2. Locating, securing in trust, and managing land;

  3. Increasing access to resources, skills, and markets;

  4. Creating communities of support where people share tools, skills and inspiration;

  5. Modeling replicable and financially viable programs and practices.

VISION

Southside Community Land Trust is a nationally recognized leader in Urban Agriculture.  We envision Greater Providence as a place known for its residents’ ability to raise and process food for themselves, their families, and their community, where backyards, abandoned lots, city parks, farmland, institutional landscapes, and rooftops are protected and transformed explicitly for growing food, and where the people of Greater Providence take pride in their capacity and know-how to support a percentage of their food needs through local production.
