Urban Farms: How Urban Farms Are Helping Communities in Need

Continuing the important topic of food injustice, food deserts and food swamps, in this episode Yvette and Ericka are on location at East New York Farms! located in East New York Brooklyn. The community surrounding Pink Houses refused to wait for help as they watched the systematic reduction of green spaces and the health index of the community steadily decline. While on location, Yvette and Ericka interview the farmer and her team of dedicated volunteers who operate the farm and distribute its bounty to the neighborhood weekly for free. “Help the life of one person and you can help the community.” – Steven Sawalich
