#DYK children who are familiar with growing their own food tend to eat more fruits and vegetables, and are more likely to continue healthy eating habits as adults. #schoolgarden #farmtoschool #healthykids #healthyschools #southbronx #nutritioneducation https://t.co/QyMhqMStdt

Research has shown that providing financial incentives at the point of purchase is one of the most effective ways to increase fruit and vegetable consumption. #farmersmarket #gmktnyc #grownyc #organic #eatlocal #buylocal #livehealthy #foodjustice #equity #southbronx #farmtotable
