| 796 | City of Houston | 31108 | USA | Houston | C40 | 2014 | Urban Land Use > Urban agriculture | Urban Land Use | Urban agriculture | In November 2012, the City launched the Urban Grows initiative. Urban Grows, part of the City of Houston’s Healthy Houston initiative, aims to help communities build vegetable gardens, farms and orchards on vacant land in areas with poor access to healthy fresh foods, often referred to as food deserts. The City of Houston will provide lots through its LARA program (Land Assemblage Redevelopment Authority), which works to redevelop tax-delinquent and abandoned properties. Community members, partnering with local non-profits, foundations or churches, will then work to transform these vacant lots into usable, productive and attractive green spaces. Urban Grows is the first initiative launched as part of Mayor Parker’s new program, Healthy Houston, which is designed to reduce obesity and increase healthy eating and exercise. Healthy Houston will promote programs, policies and actions designed to reduce food deserts, promote the availability of locally-grown foods, encourage the development of sustainable food systems and promote recreational opportunities. Urban Grows will: • Encourage urban agriculture in neighborhoods, utilizing vacant City property • Improve access to healthy, affordable and locally produced food for all neighborhoods • Support education regarding the benefits of sustainable agriculture Urban Grows will complement the City’s existing efforts, including the launch of the City Hall Farmers Market and farmers markets at the City’s multi-service centers; new vegetable container gardens downtown and throughout the City; a Grocery Access Task Force that works with grocers on providing economic tools and incentives to help spur more supermarket and grocery development in areas where they are needed; the launch of Bike Share in Houston and the expansion of bike lanes and trails. | (29.7601927°, -95.3693896°) | (37.09024°, -95.712891°) | |
