What are we doing to help?
To ameliorate food deserts in San Pedro our group is going to make fliers. Our fliers will include information and maps of the school and community garden we are partnering with. Also, another flier will include basic gardening information. Our first flier will include photos and information on the garden and exactly where it is located. From what we can tell from our research, there are no solutions to food deserts like the one we are implementing, and the mapping makes the fliers a unique solution to food deserts in San Pedro. We would like to partner with schools, churches, and community centers to spread our flier, and would like to hopefully partner with the organizations that make the community gardens. By partnering with the organizations that make the gardens we would get credible information to be able to build off each other. We would be able to gather data on whether our flier made a difference by asking the schools and churches on how many fliers they handed out. Also, we will make a google form or survey which can give us important information on our fliers effect. While our hope is that people use the fliers to get nutritious food, we are also trying to raise awareness for the often overlooked issue of community gardens.
