175. Communal gardens solve some of these problems. |

Some of the churches in my area have gotten together to buy cheapish abandoned lots in poor neighborhoods and have given out little gardening plots to local poor families.
It might be nice to offer the option when people sign up for food stamps or unemployment benefits to join a community gardening program. Each family could get a little plot of land and a support network to give them tips on how to use it.
Another program teaches people gardening skills and then gets them landscaping jobs with the local council.
