City of West Sacramento

The Center for Land Based Learning has received a U.S. Department of Agriculture planning grant, to support the West Sacramento Urban Farm program. Specifically, the grant will connect urban farmers with the Bryte/Broderick community to improve food access, nutrition education & economic development. Learn more: http://wsac.city/USDAgrant

The project will directly work with low-income residents of the Broderick/Bryte community in West Sacramento, who experience high levels of food insecurity. One of the challenges facing Broderick/Bryte residents is the lack of exposure to nutrition education in the form of cooking skills and familiarity of produce to take full advantage of what is being grown locally. To bridge this gap, the project will help connect local urban farmers with residents to help them better serve and understand the needs of the community.
