Cultiva Ciudad is a social-environmental organization with 25 years designing and developing holistic urban agriculture projects throughout Mexico City. In 2012 we founded Huerto Tlatelolco, a regenerative urban farm and educational center, on blighted land near downtown. Huerto has become a model of agroecological practices, environmental education, and community engagement – partnering with schools, business, government, and neighbors to advance a more resilient and healthy city. We are a dynamic and interdisciplinary team led by women and deeply rooted in our community, as reflected in the over 150 volunteers per year working in Huerto Tlatelolco. We believe that urban agriculture is a tool for deep social transformation and a strategy to combat climate change. In a context marked by increasingly complex environmental, social, and economic challenges, agroecology shows us that it is possible to build solutions rooted in community and nature.
