HAP is a collaboration of organizations and individuals that produce food across Houston to address food insecurity in low-income communities. to create substantive change in them through agriculture. The collaboration consists of agricultural professionals and community members from across Houston that see agriculture as a way to create substantive change. Through this collaboration we seek to increase the amount of locally produced food and provide job training to residents in communities where gardens and farms are located, leading to healthier people, healthier homes and healthier communities.
