Crop Swap LA™ is determined to grow food on unused spaces in ways that create jobs, preserve water, and equitably distribute the food. Founded by Jamiah Hargins in 2018, Crop Swap LA™ has grown from a small monthly neighborhood swap of fruits and vegetables, to a globally recognized institution and movement. They believe that food should be grown and consumed locally to reduce reliance on inefficient, water and carbon intensive global supply chains.
