Urban Agriculture
Urban Agriculture is one example of a community taking control of its environment and making a positive impact on the members’ health and wellbeing. Urban agriculture in our community includes: a hydroponic greenhouse on our rooftop; other greenhouses on apartment rooftops along Division Street; a community edible garden at the Institute of Puerto Rican Arts and Culture in Humboldt Park; beautiful planters along Division Street; a community garden at the Casita de Don Pedro; community gardens throughout the neighborhood – like El Coquí on Rockwell and Crystal; a farmers market on Division Street; a food “cooperative” in La Municipal grocery store; families in their homes growing food in their yards and in their homes.
