Community gardens may be commonplace all over Europe, but they are yet to hit the mainstream here in the US.

There is also a movement around the country that is addressing the issue of food security. Many low-income communities are "food deserts", meaning there is a limited access to fresh food. This is a huge issue and many organizations are trying to tackle this critical issue, including Farmer D Organics. Here are a few organizations that are doing great work in this area, where you can learn more.
