MUFI, short for the Michigan Urban Farming Initiative, is an all-volunteer 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization based in Detroit's North End community. Their mission is to engage community members in sustainable agriculture as a means to address unique challenges faced by urban communities like Detroit, such as vacant land and food security. By using agriculture as a platform, MUFI aims to empower urban communities and promote education, sustainability, and community while also reducing socioeconomic disparity.

MUFI's primary focus is the redevelopment of a three-acre area in Detroit's North End, positioning it as a hub of urban agriculture. They showcase best practices for sustainable urban agriculture, effective strategies for increasing food security, cost-competitive and scalable models for blight deconstruction, and innovation in Blue and Green infrastructure. Through their initiatives, MUFI aims to solve social problems in Detroit while potentially establishing a blueprint for redevelopment in other urban communities.

Join MUFI in their mission to transform communities through agriculture, and make a difference in promoting a more sustainable and equitable future
