Green Village Initiative (GVI) is an urban agriculture organization in Bridgeport, CT. Our mission is to grow food, knowledge, leadership and community through urban gardening and farming, to create a more just food system in Bridgeport.
We believe that food grown by and for the community will lead to a robust, community-driven food system and catalyze local economic development. We recognize the importance of addressing the systemic inequities that cause poverty and hunger in our city and we are working towards a Bridgeport in which all people can participate in their food system, from seed to plate, in ways that are inclusive and non-exploitive of each other and our environment.
