Community Urban Agriculture (Farms & Gardens)
Our Yard2Farms #SouthLAGreenFoodLandProject expands its current "green food access" spaces into dedicated community "urban farms, edible gardens and open community green spaces" that increase BIPOC Community Food Security Sustainable Green Spaces, Environmental Education, BIPOC Community Engagement, and BIPOC Community Health and Wellness.
It expands and transforms outdoor land or living spaces throughout South LA or surrounding areas of high economic needs. We especially focus on areas that have been abandoned or that we can adopt. The project includes rooftop urban farms, edible parks and gardens, fresh food donations to homeless missions, families in need and and Los Angeles residents.
#SouthLAGreenFoodLandProject was made possible

The Halo Food Project
Clean Energy Supporting Local Food Systems For Communities In Need.

State Mobile MOnitoring Initiative (SMMI)
What’s in the air we breathe?
Aclima, in partnership with the California Air Resources Board (CARB), is leading the Statewide Mobile Monitoring Initiative (SMMI). This project will gather detailed air quality data across California using specialized mobile platforms. The initiative focuses on measuring pollutants, toxic air contaminants, and greenhouse gases, particularly in disadvantaged communities.
The Niles Foundation, in collaboration with Aclima, CARB, and CCI has hosted several community events for Gardena, Alondra Park Lawndale, and Torrance to discuss the project and learn how better we can monitor air within the community.
This work is happening through the Statewide Mobile Monitoring Initiative, with the support of CARB @AirResources and CCI @CAClimateInvest. To learn more, visit our website: www.aclima.earth/ca-smmi
We’ve just published a Community Air Monitoring Plan in partnership with @aclima. Follow this link to access the report: here.
