Mission Statement
Using what we have, creating what we need. We're growing food where people need fresh food. We're creating jobs, cultivating skills, spreading knowledge, and building new economies so every neighborhood is a place where health and well-being thrive.
About This Cause
Social inequalities lead to health inequalities and ill-being in our communities. They affect our access to fresh food, life expectancy, physical and mental well-being, quality of education, employment opportunities. income, and share of public resources. They shape our behavior and expectations, and what we perceive and believe is possible for our communities, our society, and us. To achieve its mission of a fair society, Project EATS is a neighborhood-based project that uses art, urban agriculture, partnerships, and social enterprise to sustainable produce and equitable distribute essential resources within and between our communities. Especially those where people live on working class and low-incomes. To do this, we bring diverse neighbors together to take agency over the use of land in their neighborhood, provide the infrastructures and support for a community to develop their resources into productive spaces. We share knowledge and skills that support the ability of people to turn these relationships and resources into sustainable social enterprises employing community residents and stimulating local economies. Project EATS is the primary program of Active Citizen Project, a New York City-based 501(c)3 non-profit organization.
