    Millions of Americans live in neighborhoods without healthy food. And unhealthy fast food is everywhere. In the Bronx, Karen Washington has spent several years pushing urban farming forward. “Healthy food is a human right, along with clean water”. She is a member of the supervisory group from the New York Botanical Garden and has
    assisted neighbor-hoods in starting community gardens. Washington says COVID-19 made a lot of people want to grow their own food. “If we are going to fight viruses,” she said, “we need to start eating healthy.”
    Through its Bronx Green-Up program, or BGU, the New York Botanical Garden has long offered support to community gardens and provided more than 10,000 small herb and vegetable plants. Early in the pandemic, the program leaders realized “that food insecurity has always been a big issue in the Bronx,” says Ursula Chanse, the program’s director.
    Thank you Maestro.
