Eventually, OakCLT would like to incorporate urban agriculture as a key component of the land trust.  Recognizing that fresh food options can be scarce (and often prohibitively expensive for low-income families) in East and West Oakland, active urban agriculture and community gardens can provide a healthy and locally accessible source of vegetables and fruits for neighborhood residents.  OakCLT also plans on supporting the gardening efforts of land trust homeowners.  For now, check out the great work of our friends and allies in Oakland working on food justice issues:
