Community Gardens - A Spiritual Connection

Most of the pictures here belong to the project African FoodBasket one of the increasing sustainable food initiatives that not only have brought the countryside to the urban population closer, but also lead to the creation of culturally appropriate agro- ecological practices to improve access to affordable and healthy food for urban diverse communities. The Afri-Can FoodBasket is one of those initiatives in the city of Toronto where economic actions and collective identity processes have been channeling towards achieving food security and most important, food justice. Community-based urban agriculture is a way for ethnic communities and, in the case for African Canadians, to empower themselves and take back their communities.
