What we do

Roots Down is empowering cities, communities, and organizations to reimagine what their landscapes look like. We see a world where food is abundant, local, and grown as a result of community effort. Urban agriculture has come a long way but it is still disconnected from communities as a whole, we’re working hard to change that.

Problems

Cities are becoming more food insecure

Grass is detrimental to city budgets and the environment

Farmers are isolated and have a low equity model

Solutions

Productive Urban Landscape

Productive Urban Landscapes make up the bulk of green spaces in a Fruitful City. These spaces are home to fruit trees, vegetables, pollinator gardens, native plants, and community. Productive Urban Landscapes provide food for the surrounding community, save the city money for landscaping costs, and are beautiful and beneficial to the environments they find themselves in.
