Food deserts have become all too common in urban areas, and with them, residents are left without options for fresh, nutritional foods. Children miss the opportunity to develop good cooking and eating habits. Obesity has become an epidemic. On this episode, we visit some innovative projects that address this challenge by teaching children and adults to grow food, about nutrition, and about cooking and eating fresh, healthful edibles.
About The Series: A GROWING PASSION is an Emmy-winning lifestyle program that explores San Diego County's agriculture and horticulture activities as an expression of this growing earth-friendly movement. From backyard food production to major horticultural growers, from low-water landscapes to sustainable practices around the home and in the garden, we tell stories about the natural and manmade landscapes that shape the social, cultural, environmental and economic interests of our community. We celebrate how San Diego grows.
