ABOUT BIG GREEN
Growing Food Changes Lives.
Founded in 2011, Big Green is a national nonprofit dedicated to getting everyone in America to grow food through school and home garden programs. Our mission is guided by three core initiatives: build gardens, provide grants, and create gatherings to give people the tools they need to grow food at home, at school, and within their communities.
WHY GROWING FOOD?
-
Growing one’s own food can improve food security by increasing access to fresh produce, improving nutrition, fostering community ties, and building resilience against food access, economic disruptions or supply challenges.
-
Community gardens are affordable and efficient ways to bring nature back to cities, providing habitat for flora and fauna, supporting urban biodiversity, and even contributing to flood prevention by filtering and storing rainwater!
-
Studies show that gardening reduces stress, builds self-reliance, and increases empathy and reverence for all life. Additionally, growing food boosts vegetable intake, improves health, and encourages healthier food choices altogether.
-
Growing food supports vulnerable communities by reducing food costs, creating job opportunities, and promoting entrepreneurship, ultimately increasing economic mobility and enabling self-sufficiency in underserved communities.
