As families across Georgia prepare for Thanksgiving, data suggest 13% of the state’s population is food insecure. That means roughly 1.5 million people are uncertain about where their next meal will come from.
On Monday’s edition of “Closer Look,” farmer Patrick Muhammad with Your Faith Farms and tenisio seanima, a farmer and general manager at Nature’s Candy Farms LLC, spoke with show host Rose Scott about possible long-term sustainable solutions to fight food insecurity, such as urban agriculture.
During the conversation, they discussed how barriers keep people stuck in a cycle of food insecurity, the dangers of consuming unhealthy foods and shared information about their respective farms. They also shared the immediate steps families and individuals in urban areas can take to grow their own food.
