Feed the Seed : HealthyCommunity50 Challenge
A HealthyCommunity50 Challenge, 'Feed the Seed' is an urban food systems community revitalization project that catalyzes around community gardening, nutrition, grower's markets, and a neighborhood elementary school. The Challenge seeks to engage youth, families, and community members in activities around a community garden and teaching kitchen to increase nutrition and gardening knowledge, healthy food access, and consumption of fresh fruits and vegetables. The program fosters leadership among youth by giving them opportunities to motivate their school population and community toward healthy food choices, and works with teachers to integrate gardening activities into Common Core State Standards.
