More gardens will be sprouting up around Jersey City this spring thanks to
a new initiative that will expand urban agriculture and also make
healthier foods from farmers' markets more accessible.
.
Jersey City Mayor Steven Fulop and the Department of Health and Human
Services are joining up with the Partnership for a Healthier JC to
increase resources for "Earth Box" gardens at several sites around the
city and Adopt-A-Lot programs, which allows residents to transform unused
city-owned lots into gardens by leasing out the site for a dollar.
.
"As we enter the spring gardening and farmers' market season, we have
implemented several programs that will support local urban agriculture and
increase access to healthy food for residents," said Fulop in a statement.
"We are committed to expanding our Adopt-A-Lot and gardening programs
further, and are grateful for the volunteers who are working with the city
to accomplish these goals."
.
Jersey City has collaborated with farmers' market managers to streamline
the permitting process for markets over the past year. New legislation was
passed by the City Council that requires all Jersey City farmers' markets
to accept Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), the Special
Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) and
WIC Farmers' Market Nutrition Program (FMNP).
.
The legislation also calls for more locally grown fresh fruits and
vegetables, aligning the city more closely with federal standards.
