Hilltop Urban Gardens, a community-based urban agriculture, justice, and equity organization, is working toward food independence by developing a network of urban farms planted within parking strips and yards. Food produced is shared with participating members of the community. GeoEngineers performed 3D Volumetric Shadow Analysis to identify planting areas that get 6+ hours of sunlight during the planting and growing season. This information was used to help focus expansion and outreach efforts.
