How a California nonprofit is transforming people’s yards to help feed their community<\/h1>\n\n\n

An urban farming program in California is providing a fresh take on front yards to help feed people in its community. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Crop Swap L.A.\u00a0is a nonprofit that transforms people’s yards into produce gardens, which are crucial in neighborhoods that don’t always have easy access to fruits and vegetables.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to a\u00a02022 USC study,<\/strong>\u00a0nearly a quarter of Angelenos experienced food insecurity, with residents of color three times more likely to suffer than their White counterparts. Around 47 million people in the U.S. are food insecure, according to the nonprofit\u00a0Feeding America.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
