1. The Fruits of Labor: Home Food Procurement and Mental Health in the Time of COVID-19.

Author

Wirkkala, Kristen Brassard, Niles, Meredith T., Belarmino, Emily H., and Bertmann, Farryl

Subjects
HOME labor, COVID-19 pandemic, MENTAL health, CAREER changes, EMOTIONAL eating
Abstract

We examine the relationship of home food procurement (HFP) during COVID-19 to emotional eating and stress using a statewide representative survey (n = 600) in Vermont. Women and people with a job change since COVID-19 were more likely to experience higher stress and emotional eating. Engaging in HFP, especially gardening, is associated with less emotional eating. However, people who fished, hunted, or canned more since the pandemic began were more likely to eat for emotional reasons and experience higher stress. These results suggest that gardening, even during a pandemic, may contribute to stress reduction, more so than other nature-based food production activities. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

2. Urban Farming: The Reluctant Utopia.

Belleri, Daniele and Ratti, Carlo

Subjects
URBAN agriculture, ENGINEERS, URBAN planners, OFFICES, UTOPIAS
Abstract

The old conceptual dichotomy between the city and the countryside has often been a historical stumbling block for architects and urban planners. Whilst there have been many attempts to bring the city closer to the natural environment, some on grand scales, more modest experiments have often gleaned better results. Daniele Belleri is a partner at design and innovation office CRA‐Carlo Ratti Associati, where he is in charge of all editorial and curatorial projects. He and the practice's founder, architect and engineer Carlo Ratti – who is director of the Senseable City Lab at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) – together explore our contemporary options.

Abstract

Amidst the recent threat of COVID-19, home gardens have surged in popularity as seed companies and nurseries find it challenging to keep their supplies fully stocked. The victory garden movement that emerged during WWII has today re-emerged as COVID victory gardens. Yet, the global changes and cognitive shifts associated with COVID-19 have differential impacts. The narrative of COVID victory gardens depoliticizes urban agriculture. It is blind to its long history in marginalized, oppressed, and displaced communities where home gardens have always been part of a struggle for identity, autonomy, and self- and communal-determination. I argue the blindness embedded in the narrative of COVID victory gardens violates our “food-related obligations,” which are our responsibilities to ourselves, our food, and each other. Silencing how communities of color have historically grown food in pursuit of dignity disregards how home gardens in communities of color are not merely a reactionary response to crisis but part of a historical legacy whereby people of color have grown food for generations to create and recreate sustainable ways of living that validate their cultures, knowledges, and ways of being.

14. The Modern Day “Victory Garden”.

Author

Herrmann, M.M. and Esq, null

Subjects
WORLD War I, VICTORY gardens, FOOD production, FOOD prices, ENVIRONMENTAL impact analysis, LOCAL government
Abstract

During World War I food production was at a low in both the United States and Europe. In the United States, food prices soared and meatless and wheatless days were introduced to cut consumption. When it became apparent that food production needed to be increased, the National War Garden Commission was formed and encouraged Americans to do their part to contribute to the war effort by cultivating home “victory” gardens. During World War II victory gardens returned and grew in popularity under the National Victory Garden Program. Gardening was part of popular culture, no longer reserved for those who could not afford to purchase food. Gardens could be found in vacant lots, back yards, and city parks. When the war ended and the baby boomer era began, the interest in gardening waned. Gardening is once again part of popular culture with many Americans cultivating home gardens for both health and environmental benefits. Many property owners across the nation have been caught off guard to discover their gardens are in violation of local ordinances and/or restrictive covenants. Some have been fined and others threatened with jail time while local governments struggle to determine what, if any, limits can be placed on the rights of individual property owners. This paper will discuss challenges to zoning ordinances that restrict gardening, as well as changes to local ordinances that allow gardens, and in some cases chickens and bees, in suburban and urban areas.

Subjects
*VICTORY gardens, *COMMUNITY gardens, *CLIMATE change, *SUSTAINABILITY, *FOOD deserts, *AGRICULTURE
Abstract

This paper briefly looks into the past where Victory Gardens were considered a patriotic act. Today, would such gardens help with climate change and reduce the number of food deserts? The paper also touches on community gardens and seeks other ideas for connecting people to growing local food at their home or in community environments and to sharing the harvest. Lastly, it looks at dual purposing farmland use for generating power as well as growing produce with a new method called agrivoltaic production. The overall intent of the paper is to get readers to be thinking about applied agriculture and food projects they can do as class projects, at their place of residence, and in their communities.

Abstract

Embracing the best ideals of Victory Gardens, this essay celebrates Friendship Gardens. The latter go further: collapsing the dualisms separating victors from losers. Friendships that transcend differences and honor diversity are among the many fruits and organic gifts harvested and shared in the commons created by Friendship Gardens. This essay shares the hope of transforming enemies into friends and neighbors. It also joins many millions whose dreams are already taking flight while getting grounded: seeking to transform all our toxic lawnscapes into foodscapes; ending the dis-ease of billions going to bed starving amidst the mountains of food wasted for growing Wall Street profits in the twenty first century.
