3000acres

3000acres is a non-for profit focused on empowering Melbourne communities to grow fresh, healthy food and transform underutilised land into great community spaces.

Since 2014, 3000acres has been bringing people together to encourage sustainability and create opportunities for food growing in greater Melbourne through a range of urban agriculture projects. 

They break down the barriers to urban agriculture by supporting communities with the skills and knowledge to grow fresh healthy food, whilst transforming underutilised land into great community spaces.

They work with diverse groups including councils, developers, statutory bodies and communities to turn ideas about growing food into fruitful realities. 

Their projects and advocacy work aims to normalise food growing as an expected feature of healthy and resilient urban landscapes. Ultimately, they want community spaces to be available for people to come together, grow, learn, share and feel connected.
