Community Garden Growth

Community Garden Growth explores how community gardens address food security, community development, and environmental sustainability. It argues that these gardens are more than just green spaces; they're scalable solutions for boosting food access and community resilience.

The book delves into the history of community gardens, tracing their evolution from wartime "Victory Gardens" to modern urban agriculture, revealing how social and political forces have shaped their purpose.

The book examines the impact of community gardens on household food security, particularly for vulnerable populations. It also assesses their potential to foster social cohesion, promote healthier lifestyles, and contribute to local economies.

Using research, case studies, and survey data, it offers a balanced view of the benefits and limitations, highlighting the role of sustainable food systems in enhancing food access.

The book progresses from introducing core concepts to exploring historical and social contexts, then offering in-depth analyses of the gardens' impact. It concludes with policy recommendations and practical strategies for promoting community garden growth, providing a roadmap for communities aiming to implement or expand their own gardening initiatives.
