PLAY ·2021 Grants ChallengeLA's Mobile Farm
Sprouts of Promise wants all LA kids to have access to growing vegetables! With an LA2050 grant, we’ll convert a box truck into a farm on wheels and drive it to schools, parking lots and playgrounds. Prioritizing food deserts that lack green space, we’ll give city kids hands-on experience with growing veggies, fruit, and earthworms. When possible, we'll bring ultra-fresh excess produce from our farmers' markets. * In the US, poor diet is a leading cause of death. But ample studies show that kids with gardens eat their vegetables.
LIVE ·2020 Grants ChallengeLA Farmers' Market Coalition
We would like to establish a Los Angeles Farmers' Market Coalition. This Coalition will unite farmers' markets across LA, both affluent markets and those serving in food deserts, facilitating the sharing of information and resources. Markets will unite to address challenges to food access, such as COVID-19. To create social media campaigns and share program ideas. In times of need, markets will respond to issues affecting consumers, farmers and markets with one voice and will connect with Neighborhood Councils for greater community integration.
