Pocket City Farms

Pocket City Farms exists to empower Australians to improve our urban environments and take action on climate change. They do this by working with communities, schools and businesses to set up and maintain urban farms, food forests and food gardens which increase urban greening, biodiversity and food security in our cities. Pocket City Farms' regenerative urban agriculture model envisages a world where all people are connected to fair food and regenerated urban environments.

Their aspiration is to see initiatives like theirs replicated and scaled across Australia’s urban spaces so that we can increase urban greening, biodiversity and food security in our cities and create regenerated urban communities. They are exploring business cases to replicate and scale soil based, regenerative urban farms that have a financially sustainable and scalable business model. The solution will adopt a social enterprise model in that it will be able to be financially sustainable, and be able to scale and be replicated through a suitable mechanism (for example, community wealth building or franchise model etc.).

Pocket City Farms have built a unique set of intellectual, social and relationship capital alongside an established set of processes, procedures and systems to create thriving regenerative urban agriculture. They are now looking to “package” and identify replicable business models (such as community wealth building) so that other communities passionate about taking action don’t need to start from scratch - instead they can pick up, own, replicate and adapt their model across Australia.
