In 2013, we began working with local schools to help students of all ages learn about the benefits of native plants, food webs, and growing food locally. We are now announcing a plan for improving nutritional resilience and food self-sufficiency in the face of urban food deserts. While abundantly resourced neighborhoods have many choices for food purchase and growing, many neighborhoods have few if any good choices. While some urban neighborhoods have excellent programs for urban gardening and nutrition, we want to go further.
