TD Employees Support Urban Agriculture and Food Security with Urban Roots

URBAN ROOTS

Charity Profile

Urban Roots is a non-profit organization in London, Ontario, that revitalizes underused urban land to grow fresh, affordable food for the local community.

Through sustainable farming practices and strong community partnerships, Urban Roots promotes food security, environmental stewardship, and inclusive access to nutritious produce.
TD employees in London joined forces with Urban Roots for an afternoon of service on their farm. The session began with a educational tour of the site, where volunteers learned about regenerative farming practices and the organization’s role in strengthening local food security.

After the tour, volunteers took part in a hands-on farming session alongside Urban Roots’ staff, engaging in seasonal tasks such as planting, weeding, harvesting, and composting. The experience offered a meaningful opportunity to connect with the land, deepen their understanding of sustainable agriculture, and contribute to a resilient local food system.

The TD volunteer support came at a critical time, helping us catch up with our labour needs and ensure our farm stays productive and on track this growing season. Thanks to their efforts, we’re better equipped to continue feeding our community and strengthening food security in London.
