Netiya is an interfaith food justice network of 42 faith-

based institutions in Los Angeles

Netiya works with congregations to

cultivate gardens on unused land to grow and tithe nutritious

food

Netiya advances institutional collaboration around food procurement

and food relief, so that Angelenos of all faiths can

have greater access to food that is worthy of a blessing

We have installed 13 organic Just Gardens

on unused congregational lands, with plans for three

more this year

Our focus is on empowerment

and food sovereignty,

rather than food relief

We ask our congregations to tithe

10% of their land, and to reverse-tithe the

produce: up to 90% of the fresh fruits,

vegetables, and herbs that are grown are given

to the community

Netiya strives to make systemic change at the

institutional level, as well as the individual

level

Grow Wise, Netiya’s newest program, will

repurpose congregational and private land to grow

food; and create scalable land

management practices for saving water and

going solar

“...some schools may improve their program by constructing a new

science building or maybe an arts building. A garden has, instead of four walls and a ceiling, two walls and the sky as a ceiling, and it is a

new learning space." Netiya partner, Amira Al-Sarraf, New Horizon

Muslim School

“We hope students will see the garden as a place for inquiry,

exploration, and discovery, for appreciating nature and our Creator, for learning where food comes from,

for eating more healthfully, for understanding the value of water in

an ecosystem, and for becoming better human beings.” Netiya partner, Amira Al-Sarraf, New

Horizon Muslim School
