OSALT is unique across our nation as one of the few organizations that holds urban and rural land in trust to promote sustainable agriculture. OSALT does this by acting as an umbrella organization that provides land, management processes and non-profit status to local communities for sustainable food production through gardening, farming, research and education. OSALT is now protecting in trust more than $2 million in urban and rural agricultural land, and managing over 20 community gardens and farms.
Lands in Trust
Oregon Sustainable Agriculture Land Trust (OSALT) holds farmland and urban gardens for the purposes of research and education on sustainable agriculture.
Urban Farm Collective
OSALT's program Urban Farm Collective transforms vacant urban lots into productive community gardens used for education, community-building and improving food security.
Research
Research is a fundamental part of OSALT's work in developing a sustainable agriculture.
Get Involved
OSALT is an all-volunteer organization. There are many opportunities to become involved in our work, both through our sites and programs and through work to support OSALT itself.
