Empowering Communities

Urban Farms.

In 2022, 16.9% of Canadians were food insecure, compared with 12.9% in 2021. Overall, the proportion of individuals in households experiencing food insecurity has increased by 5.3 percentage points from 2018 to 2022. Close to 1 in 10 (9.9%) Canadians were living in poverty in 2022

At Be Earth, we see this as an opportunity to sow the seeds of change. Our goal is to lead the urban movement by weaving urban agriculture into the sustainability plans of municipalities and our grocery retail store. Our mission is to transform unused or vacant land into thriving urban farms that nourish, unite, and benefit the community. By converting underutilized urban spaces into productive green areas, Be Earth tackles food insecurity, fosters community engagement, and enhances access to fresh produce.
