Urban Agriculture: A Potential Solution for Food Deserts
In the very same neighborhood in Northeast D.C. where social workers hand out sterile needles to drug users once a week, RonDell Pooler is growing, producing and selling fresh produce to battle the food access problems residents living around the Marvin Gaye Park are facing.
Join us on a trip less then 10 miles away from the White House, where we venture out to an urban farm, investigate what food deserts really look like, and see how Washington Parks and People are connecting this issue to the people.
