Building Resiliency Through Community Agriculture Programs
Presented by Ashley Williamson, The Giving Grove Chief Replication Officer
Community agricultural programs - such as community gardens, orchards, and urban farming - provide much more than food. They promote resiliency through food security, environmental stewardship, climate literacy, and community health benefits. This webinar will discuss what two organizations are doing to ensure resiliency on a local and national level and how these programs can be brought to your community! The Giving Grove will share how they are working to provide healthy calories, strengthen community, and improve the urban environment through a nationwide network of sustainable little orchards that are providing free, fresh produce and bringing neighbors together to grow community alongside the trees.
Who should attend? Emergency management professionals, public health, state, federal, and tribal agencies, social service agencies, volunteer organizations, the general public.
