Eat More Fruits & Vegetables
This document recommends eating more fruits and vegetables over a 7 day challenge period for their many health benefits. It notes fruits and vegetables provide vitamins, minerals, phytochemicals and fiber. The challenge is to eat at least 2 cups of fruit and 2.5 cups of vegetables each day, the recommended daily serving amount for a 2,000 calorie diet, and to finish any extra produce bought by the end of the week.

The Preserving Our Planet (POP) congregation at Beth Hatephila implemented a two-year program with four committees focused on reducing environmental harm through individual and collective actions. The committees addressed reducing waste through composting and recycling, encouraging energy conservation, promoting sustainable agriculture, and advocating for expanded public transportation. Through educational events, partnerships with other faith organizations, and changes to temple practices, the program successfully raised awareness of environmental issues and inspired long-term commitments to more sustainable living among congregants.

Urban agriculture and city gov't darby
Urban agriculture is growing in popularity in Richmond City. However, city governments face challenges in regulating urban farms and community gardens within existing codes and policies that were designed for traditional agriculture.

Urban agriculture has expanded in Baltimore City since 2008. There are now over 13 farms in the city, including Real Food Farm which has grown from 3 hoop houses to 7 hoop houses, 2 fields, and other operations. The city has taken several steps to support urban agriculture like developing a sustainability plan in 2009, a food policy initiative in 2010, and a urban agriculture land leasing pilot program in 2011. Through this program, 3 sites totaling over 6 acres have been leased for urban farms. However, challenges to further expansion include community concerns, competing uses for vacant land, high costs of soil remediation, and insufficient land tenure for farmers.

Fostering Urban Agriculture through Brownfield Redevelopment – Ann Carroll, E...
This document discusses fostering urban agriculture through brownfield redevelopment. It defines brownfields as real property that is complicated to redevelop due to potential contamination. Typical brownfield contaminants include petroleum, metals, and organic compounds. The EPA and states have programs to assess and clean brownfield sites, enabling over 50 projects converting them to community gardens, farms, and markets. While brownfields can pose risks if contamination is not addressed, cleaning and testing sites first can make urban agriculture safe and beneficial by recycling formerly blighted land. The document provides resources for learning more about brownfield redevelopment and urban agriculture options and funding sources.

The Story of Lynchburg Grows - Michael van Ness
Lynchburg Grows operates the H.R. Schenkel Urban Farm and Environmental Education Center in Lynchburg, Virginia. The farm was established in 2003 on 6.8 acres of formerly industrial land containing old greenhouses. Since then, Lynchburg Grows has involved thousands of volunteers in restoring the property and growing food to donate to local pantries and sell at markets. The farm employs disabled individuals, partners with schools for education programs, and works towards sustainability through initiatives like rainwater collection, biomass heating, and eliminating food deserts in the community.
Virginia Food Desert Report
The document summarizes the findings of a Virginia task force that studied food deserts in the state. Some key findings:
- Food deserts exist to varying degrees across Virginia, even in more affluent areas like Northern Virginia. Poverty is strongly correlated with food deserts.
- Transportation barriers and a lack of grocery stores relative to fast food restaurants and convenience stores worsen the problem.
- Adult obesity rates exceed the state average in many areas studied.
The report makes recommendations to the state government like coordinating efforts through the Virginia Food System Council, expanding access to healthy foods through programs and incentives, and improving nutrition education. The goal is to ensure all Virginians have access to affordable, nut
