What about setting up a "community" garden area? We have lots of those in Michigan -- e.g., a few acres set aside where people "string-off" their areas and grow what they want.

A community garden would be great. As someone said, there is the shared harvest garden which goes to the needy, but many people like to grow fresh vegetables for their own use, for canning and freezing, etc., and it would be nice to have a place to do it. Technically, there are restrictions on what you can grown around your actual house.

We've seen community gardens in other cities, where you apply for a permit, and for a small annual fee, get a plot of land that you can cultivate to your heart's content! If people are interested, I think it would be a great thing to request in the annual survey.
