Dunedin’s Urban Farming & food security project
We’re working towards a vision of a community-driven, resilient, and food-secure Greater Dunedin. Through urban farming, educational initiatives, and local partnerships, we aim to create a sustainable food system that empowers residents, reduces food waste, and fosters local food production. Together, we can build a thriving, food-secure Dunedin where everyone has access to fresh, locally grown produce.
Grow produce locally
At FEED’s Urban Garden, we cultivate a variety of fresh, nutritious fruits, vegetables, and herbs right in the heart of the community.
Our focus on sustainable gardening methods ensures that each crop is grown with care for the environment, using practices that promote healthy soils and reduce waste.
Give it a good home
We believe good food deserves a good home. FEED’s Urban Garden distributes produce through our local partnerships and community markets, connecting the fruits of our labor with those who value fresh, sustainably grown food.
This way, every harvest goes to people who appreciate the journey from seed to plate.
Making it go further
Through workshops and hands-on sessions, we empower people to make the most of fresh produce. Learn how to cook delicious, nutritious meals, understand the basics of healthy eating, and pick up tips on how to store produce to extend its shelf life and reduce food waste.
Our educational programs make fresh food accessible, enjoyable, and sustainable for everyone.
Teach and inspire
We believe anyone can grow—no matter their experience, confidence, or available space. Through practical guidance and real-world examples, we support people to take their first steps into growing food, whether it’s a backyard, balcony, or shared space.
By building skills and confidence, we’re helping cultivate the next generation of growers, gardeners, and food producers—people who value where their food comes from and how it’s grown.
