This guide provides users with the tools they need to access public land for growing food, including: 1) opportunities to work with public agencies to identify and inventory suitable growing sites, and develop a process for partners to access these sites 2) common types of agreements that govern the relationship between food-growing groups and public entities, such as leases, licenses, and interagency agreements 3) common provisions in agreements, such as liability, utilities, maintenance, growing practices, contamination, access and security, and improvements 4) special issues related to growing food on school district property and 5) sample agreements from real-world urban agriculture projects on public land. Fresh, healthy food is just the beginning: growing food on public property can also promote civic participation, public safety, food literacy, job skills, and urban greening – in short, healthier, more vibrant places. Growing food on public property – from vacant fields, to schoolyards, parks, utility rights-of-way, and even the rooftops of public buildings – can yield a diverse crop of community benefits.
