The SECUF Grant encourages Social Enterprises (SEs) to set up and operate Community Urban Farms and conduct gardening/horticulture-related programmes for seniors, persons with special needs, and low-income individuals/families. Launched in 2021 under the Gardening with Edibles initiative as part of Singapore's vision of Growing our City in Nature. Community Urban Farms are gardening hubs that bring the community together through edibles gardening and curated horticulture programmes. Activities include leasing allotment gardening plots, organising workshops and lessons, community harvest festivals, and coordinating the sale/distribution of harvests.
