The Impact of Community Gardening on Nutrition and Eating Habits

Public project summary

This project will examine the impact of community gardening on eating practices in low-income communities. Currently, research suggests that a large disparity in healthy food practices exists between the levels of healthy eating practices in high and low-income communities, with dangerous health ramifications. Community gardens, pieces of land gardened and developed by a community of individuals that produce food for collective consumption, have the ability to positively affect this issue.
