Run as an initiative of the Lifecycles Project Society, Sharing Backyards provides a simple yet highly effective model for communities to increase the food produced in urban spaces. Those wanting to grow a garden but lack the space can seach through the listings of available yards or create an ad for yard owners to browse. Through their website, users can browse the cities where SB projects already exist, or be given the tools and support to start their own.
