Did you know that gardening can be used to help feed the hungry? There are multiple ways to do this and it's not as hard as it seems. Urban farm gardens are one one way to help feed those in need.
In my recent article, Can School Garden Farms Reduce Childhood Hunger?, I discussed the possibility of requiring all schools to maintain a community garden. By doing so, it may be possible to help combat this issue plaguing an unnecessary amount of American children. Do you think it will help? Do you have the resources to make it work? Click here to read the article and learn more about my idea.
A friend and colleague of mine, Kyla Matton, also did a recent writeup on using gardening to aid the hungry. However, her idea was different. In combination, I can see these ideas making a large impact on global hunger. In Grow a Row - Plant a Row, Kyla describes how to use your own garden to help those who are less fortunate. She discusses these issues based on facts and personal observances, as well as provides readers with helpful tips and resources to make it a reality.
