Urban Farming Advocates

Formed in June 2009, Urban Farming Advocates (UFA) is a group of individuals, small business owners and organizations seeking to legalize urban farming in the City of L.A. We respectfully challenge outdated ordinances that restrict people's freedom to use residential land for urban agriculture and self-reliance, practiced in a sustainable and responsible way, and in a manner that is directly related to the city's efforts to green Los Angeles.

A word from LA City Council President Garcetti…

Posted by UFA - 1 year ago - UFA

Los Angeles City Council President Eric Garcetti was kind enough to meet with Urban Farming Advocates on the day the City Council passed the Food & Flowers Freedom Act (photo to come!). It was largely due to the efforts of President Garcetti’s office that F&FFA made it through the City and we are very grateful for his dedication to and support for urban farming.

This is what President Garcetti had to say about the passing of the Food & Flowers Freedom Act:

“This makes sure that people can eat healthier and save money during these tough times, while at the same time setting clear rules to avoid any confusion with neighbors or the city. We hope this is a big step forward for urban farming here in Los Angeles, and across the nation.” — Los Angeles City Council President Eric Garcetti

We Urban Farming Advocates would like to extend our thanks to everyone in President Garcetti’s office for their hard work!

Thank you!

Now start farming!
