AS the single most effective way of reducing our environmental footprint, ‘foodmiles’’ & foodwaste to landfill (responsible for around 40% of greenhouse emissions) growing & sharing food locally gives our diverse community increased access to healthy activity; fresh, nutritious food, neighbourhood connectivity, skillsharing, social enterprise opportunities and local resilience in a time of rising transported food costs, population densification and climate change.

WE, the under-signed residents & supporters of City of Yarra’s stated priority of : “STRENGTHENING URBAN AGRICULTURE” (in Council-initiated surveys, and as a transparent commitment to our community in Council Plan 2013-2017) are deeply disturbed that ongoing funding for Yarra’s innovative, successful and widely recognised leadership in local Urban Agriculture initiatives has been axed from Councils 2014/2015 Draft Budget.

PLEASE HONOUR YOUR COMMITMENTS: REINSTATE ONGOING URBAN AGRICULTURE FUNDING NOW!

The Reinstate Ongoing Urban Agriculture Funding in City of Yarra Now petition to friends and colleagues was written by Glenda Lindsay and is in the category Environment at GoPetition.
