A Partnership with the LA Jewish Federation, funded by the Jewish Community Foundation
NETIYA is a Jewish network that advances urban agriculture in our synagogues, schools, and non-profit organizations in Los Angeles. NETIYA forges alliances that merge purchasing power to source local food. NETIYA cultivates gardens to tithe nutritious food, and organizes community to seed a more just and resilient food system.
NETIYA plants Just Gardens to grow food through our institutions. Our aim is to make locally-grown produce more accessible to congregants and to neighbors in under-served communities by: 1) establishing sister gardens, 2) offering volunteer hands and plot space, or 3) fusing financial power to join a CSA (Community Supported Agriculture – fresh produce and fruit delivered on-site). Produce harvested from all NETIYA gardens goes through a reverse tithing – 90% to be donated, 10% for the institution to revitalize traditional Jewish agricultural practices.Just Foods. NETIYA offers educational materials to help individuals and communities make informed, ethical and nutritious food choices. Through the Just Foods project, NETIYA encourages our members to partner and place our combined purchasing power behind ethical farms, ranchers, fisheries, and grocers – and to make it affordable for our partners in food deserts to access high quality, fresh produce that is locally-grown.
Just Actions. NETIYA propagates community that participates in farming, gleaning, and gardening with organizations around LA, hands-on educational workshops, and advocacy campaigns to foster a more just and resilient food system.
