HOW MIGHT WE…
… supply fresh fruit and veggies to those facing crises that engages the wider community?

Tiny Trowel aims to harness the power and generosity of the wider community - ‘The Crowd’ - through:

1. Crowd Harvests - providing avenues through which home produce gardeners might donate fresh fruit, herbs and vegetables to food relief providers
2. Crowd Sharing- developing faith community projects to cultivate their land, enriching their food relief programs
3. Crowd Farming - inviting the community to donate food plants to farm public land
4. Crowd Talks - talks to community members to explore ways to raise their own home produce gardens
   OUR STORY

Created in 2016, Tiny Trowel collaborates with any community working to reduce food insecurity. We align programs with your vision to meet the need of people passing through a season of crisis. We engage “The Crowd” or the wider community in alleviating hunger, and empowering all stakeholders with horticulture, permaculture and self sustainability skills.

To summarise, The Fair Food Challenge is empowering university communities to build fair, healthy and accessible food systems. We are working with institutions to develop and implement comprehensive fair food plans to transform campus food environments.
