Urban Agriculture Month connects local people together to share, learn and celebrate through food.
Happening every November in our backyards, community gardens, laneways, schools and markets across Australia’s towns & cities – come and connect with the people and places that nourish your community.

Urban Agriculture Month happens because event hosts make it happen.
To help grow the urban agriculture movement - and your local farm, community garden or food business too – consider hosting an in-person or online event as part of our month-long celebration this November.
We’ve developed a range of resources to help promote your project, build a local community and engage new partners - and the Sustain team are always on call to help.
Urban Agriculture Month (UAM) is run by Sustain: the Australian Food Network, a think and do network connecting passionate people like you to create tangible change in our food system. Sustain is a registered charity with the Australian Charities and Not-for-Profits Commission (ACNC).

Urban Agriculture Month is about showing everyday Australians how urban agriculture can feed and nourish our communities.
It’s a chance to shine the spotlight on the diverse urban agriculture movement happening across Australia’s backyards, laneways, schools and community farms and gardens - building support for urban agriculture as a response to the social, nutritional, climate, environmental and cost-of-living challenges of our time.
Through media, conferences and grassroots advocacy, Urban Agriculture Month elevates the case for investment in urban agriculture by our local, State, Territory and Federal governments, at a time when food supply chains and the wellbeing of people are under pressure.
In bringing together seasoned gardeners, curious occasional growers and absolute beginners, Urban Agriculture Month builds the community connections, skill-sharing and collective action we need for a flourishing and fair food system.
