Introduction

Community and home food gardening are active and affordable ways to improve food security statusand be an ecological steward. Vegetables and fruits can be grown in containers, raised beds, or directly into the ground. CCE staff and volunteers are often well-positioned to promote knowledge and skills gains related to growing food in these settings. It is a priority of CCE to work with vulnerable populations to educate families and influence policies that will allow youth, families, and communities to make sound nutritional decisions with constrained resources.(Adapted from the CCE Statewide Plan of Work)
