Nashville Urban Harvest is a community driven, non-profit group working to build sustainable food systems in Nashville, Tennessee, and surrounding environs. We seek ways to align our core values through public action: education for food justice, creation of markets to support local producers, and production of food on urban green space, all with an eye toward sustainable, local, community-supported agriculture and action.
Nashville Urban Harvest envisions a food secure society where all persons have access to fresh, healthy, and local foods, without having to make an untenable choice between food and other pressing concerns, such as rent or mortgage, car payments, etc. In 2005, the USDA reported that 35.1 million Americans, 22.7 million adults and 12.4 million children, were food insecure. These staggering figures, coupled with a passion for sustainable agriculture within Metro Nashville, drive our organization to develop programs that produce food, educate for sustainable, local foods and markets, and advocate for justice for both the farmer and the consumer.
