WRI Ross Center Prize for Cities to Rosario, Argentina for Improving Resilience and Equity Through Urban Agriculture

The municipality of Rosario created the Urban Agriculture Program, which has turned vacant land into urban food gardens where low-income residents can cultivate food. They also get tools, materials, seeds and training to help locals grow food without chemicals. Today, the program has over 300 urban farmers, alleviates food scarcity and provides economic opportunities for many residents. It is a cornerstone of the city's climate action plan. https://wrirosscities.org/news/release-prize-cities-awarded-rosario-argentina-improving-resilience-and-equity-through-urban https://www.euronews.com/green/2021/06/29/why-did-this-argentinian-city-win-a-prestigious-global-environmental-prize
