About This Cause
Acta Non Verba: Youth Urban Farm Project (ANV) elevates life in the inner-city by challenging oppressive dynamics and environments through urban farming. Founded and led mainly by women of color from the surrounding neighborhood and larger community, ANV creates a safe and creative outdoor space for children, youth, and families in East Oakland, CA. Within this severely economically depressed neighborhood in the nation’s second most dangerous city, ANV engages and deepens their understanding of nutrition, food production, and healthy living as well as strengthens their ties to the community. Acta Non Verba: Youth Urban Farm Project offers vital services in education, child care, economic empowerment, and access to green, safe spaces and healthy food to a community sorely lacking in these areas. ANV's quarter acre farm, located in Oakland's Tassafaronga Park is planned, planted, harvested and sold by youth grades K-8. 100% of the proceeds into individual savings accounts for those who participate.
