THE REEU PROGRAM GIVES STUDENTS A DEEP-DIVE INTO AGRICULTURE, BETTER PREPARING THEM FOR PROFESSIONAL INTERACTION WITH THE COMMUNITY AND ITS STAKEHOLDERS. ADDITIONALLY, THE YOUNGER STUDENTS AND COMMUNITY MEMBERS WILL ALSO LEARN WHY AND HOW TO GROW HEALTHY FOOD IN THEIR NEIGHBORHOODS TO BETTER THEIR FAMILIES, COMMUNITIES, AND THE ENVIRONMENT.BETWEEN THE URBAN COMMUNITY GARDENS AND THE ALLIANCE GARDENS, THERE WILL BE AN INCREASED SUPPLY OF FRESH FRUITS AND VEGETABLES AVAILABLE TO THE COMMUNITY. EFFORTS SUCH AS THIS WILL BE ONE MORE STEP TAKEN TO ADDRESS LOCAL FOOD DESERTS AND FOOD INSECURITY WITHIN THE COMMUNITY. WE CAN INCREASE THE SUPPLY OF HEALTHY FOOD IN OUR COMMUNITY FOR BETTER HEALTH OUTCOMES THROUGH OUR COLLECTIVE IMPACT.$500,000
