 Our project is working on studying urban community gardens in Bridgeport, Connecticut, specifically on how they're reducing Bridgeport status as a food desert. A food desert is a place that does not have adequate access to fruits and vegetables that will help improve their lifestyles and diets. It's one thing to collect information on how many crops are grown and how much produce is harvested as a whole. Another thing to look at how it's impacting The gardeners, which is something that the qualitative face-to-face interaction with gardeners has really been helpful with. This is a reservoir community garden. We not only have a community garden, which has 39 garden beds, but we also have the GVI garden. GVI stands for Green Village Initiative. Their role in Bridgeport is to try to create opportunity, opportunity for economic empowerment, opportunity for community cohesion, and a community farm like this offering opportunity for people to have access to affordable produce that they might not otherwise. For gardener health, it's a little bit of both produce increased intake in their diets as well as increased physical activity. We have information from the gardeners on how much time they spend on a weekly basis in the garden. We're able to look at other studies of community gardeners to see how others researchers have looked at our same problem and the information that they have and then applying it with demographics to Bridgeport. So the end goal of our study, we're definitely going to be giving it to the Green Village Initiative to help them in their campaign to endorse and encourage the City of Bridgeport to embrace urban community gardening even more in the future in terms of urban city planning.
