Equity Trust

Southside Community Land Trust (SCLT) in Providence, Rhode Island, provides access to land, education and other resources so people in Greater Providence can grow food in environmentally sustainable ways and create community food systems where locally produced, affordable, and healthy food is available to all. SCLT manages a wide range of urban agriculture programs including youth and adult agricultural education, community gardening and commercial agriculture on their ¾ acre City Farm in South Providence and the 50 acre Urban Edge Farm that serves as a business incubator for new farmers. The Equity Trust Fund loan helped Southside Community Land Trust purchase their office building in South Providence.
