Las Cruces Urban Ag
Show your support by signing this petition now
Urban agriculture activities are growing across the nation as communities look for ways to address health, food access, economic, and quality of life issues. Urban agriculture includes any activity that is connected with the growing, processing, and distribution of food and food-related products in and around cities. The Mesilla Valley has a long, rich history of agricultural production, and agriculture is an integral part of the regional economy. Food production in Las Cruces is a natural and beneficial extension of that history.
As community members fully invested in making Las Cruces a place where healthy communities can grow and thrive, it is imperative to encourage and support activities that have multiple documented benefits to mental and physical health and positively contribute to the quality of life in the city. The benefits of urban agriculture are numerous and well documented, including positive health, social, and economic outcomes.
