Why You Should Participate in a Community Garden

Global communities are transitioning toward 'local,' 'organic,' and 'sustainable' food thanks to documentaries like FOOD, Inc., which reveals the damage caused by our current food system, and Michelle Obama- whose White House garden has received public acclaim as a source of education for children, an alternative for Americans threatened by food scarcity, and an inspiration for those struggling with obesity.

Mahele Farm is an example of a community garden that is changing our food system. I volunteered at the farm when I lived in Maui and learned about what it takes to start a garden from the ground up.
