Unlocking Potential for People, Plants, Place
ALMA Backyard Farms restores and upholds Los Angeles as a city that unlocks potential for people, plants and place. ALMA's success is proven through urban farming operations and restorative job training programs wherein: (1) People formerly incarcerated have opportunities to give back. (2) Plants grow and feed people facing food insecurity. (3) Once neglected urban spaces are transformed into productive organic farms and places for nourishment. These are brought together at ALMA's Farm Stand to model environmental justice and food security.
