UAMS Community Health Workers Turn to Gardening Against Food Insecurity
Original: UAMS Community Health Workers Use Gardening to Help Address Food Insecurities
Community health workers with the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences are using gardening programs to help tackle food insecurity in Arkansas communities. By teaching residents to grow their own produce, the initiative aims to improve access to fresh, healthy food where it is scarce. The program reflects a broader public health approach linking nutrition, education and community outreach to address gaps in the local food supply.
Why now: Food insecurity and community health solutions are ongoing concerns, and this program offers a practical local response.
