the newark conservancy is a organization that focuses on teaching the newark community about heathy local food. They have many empty lot farms throughout newark. These farms help stock local farmers markets and give ingredients to cooking classes. The actual building includes green houses and gardens. The Conservancy teaches classes and helps schools learn about what to eat and how to fight food deserts. Their goal is to get fresh, local food to the people at low costs to help break the system of food deserts and poverty. Because of the high crime rate in some neighborhoods, they focus on getting jobs to young men and women to lower the amount of crime in the area. They are not only committed to heathy foods but work on re building a community through farming.
