Cityfood Growers aims to foster a grass roots movement in food production. It uses the web as a primary vehicle to connect a physical community of people living in and around cities who value locally grown food and have a passion for food gardening.

The venture is designed to be both local and global and provides online tools for gardener/consumer interaction and food garden management. Interaction is the key to any healthy community, as such, the bulk of the web site content is expected to ultimately created by site users, be they new or experienced gardeners, consumers, organizations, researchers or anyone interested in the urban agriculture conversation.

Background

Cityfood Growers is based in Brisbane, Australia and was founded in 2007 by Peter Kearney, a self-taught backyard gardener with a passion for organic and biodynamic food. Peter has been involved in growing food as a hobby since his childhood.

"Its very satisfying to know that as a person living and working in a city, where dependency on others is easy to take for granted, I have a level of personal responsibility for my most basic human need, healthy food."

Peter Kearney


Cityfood Growers is focused on healthy organic food production and supports any endeavour with this aim. By empowering city dwellers to also be food growers and sellers, we believe their awareness of the importance of eating locally grown organic food will be raised.

To facilitate the development of city food growers markets To encourage the eating of locally and grown food produced with organic methods. To engage people in the significant benefits to health, well being and community building from food gardening in cities To provide easy access to any relevant product and service suppliers. To contribute to food security of city dwellers, who are being impacted by the looming crisis in food quality and availability due to chemical/industrial farming practices, land degradation, climate change and energy costs.
