The Michigan Urban Farming Initiative

The Michigan Urban Farming Initiative is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that seeks to engage members of the Michigan community in sustainable agriculture. We believe that challenges unique to the Michigan community, e.g. vacant land, poor diet, nutritional illiteracy, and food security, present a unique opportunity for community supported agriculture. Using a agriculture as a platform to promote education, sustainability, and community, while simultaneously reducing socioeconomic disparity, we hope to empower urban communities.
