Grant Overview
Connecticut's urban neighborhoods face significant food insecurity, with 14% of Hartford residents lacking access to healthy food options. The Community Garden for Food Security initiative addresses this gap by developing community gardens across urban areas. Eligible applicants include non-profits and community groups with experience in urban agriculture. Connecticut's unique urban landscape requires tailored approaches to food security, differing from neighboring states like Massachusetts. The program's success will be measured through produce output and community engagement metrics. Barriers to Food Security in Connecticut: Urban neighborhoods lack access to fresh produce, with limited grocery store availability and high costs. By focusing on community gardens, the program can create local food systems. Who Faces Food Insecurity in Connecticut? Low-income residents in urban areas, particularly in Hartford and New Haven, are disproportionately affected. Connecticut's Infrastructure for Food Security: Existing community gardens and urban agriculture initiatives provide a foundation for this program. By 2025, Connecticut aims to have 20% more community gardens in urban areas, a goal that this initiative supports. Connecticut's Economic Landscape: The state's strong healthcare industry can benefit from healthy food initiatives, with potential partnerships between hospitals and community gardens.
