Edible Public Park Helps To Feed 200,000 People Every Year (VIDEO)
The Incredible Edible Park is a 7.5 acre public park that grows enough food, vegetables and fruits to feed 200,000 needy persons a year. Once a weeded, unused piece of land owned by the electric company is now a productive community garden. This auspicious endeavor was started as a collaborative effort from the city of Irvine to help feed those in need.
Perhaps, we can take some pointers from this video and look into ways of encouraging our own city or town to devote a park or two to growing food for the community. It would help others learn this valuable trade, as well as teach others about alternative gardening techniques. For instance, the irrigation system this parcel of land uses is based on a grey water system. Therefore, the city is not wasting drinking water, but using water that would otherwise be unused.
As the host of this video says so well, “People need to get connected with their food source. It doesn’t come from the grocery store, it comes from Mother Earth…”

Good article. However, it’s not enough to just be able to grow plants. We get our best nutrition from fruits and tubers.. both of which require water.. In the case of fruits, a lot of it. I live in the northern part of the continent, so tubers such as potatos and carrots really are the only year round option. OTOH, we have water. Southern California does not. Unless they also develop a stable water source for that park there’s going to be problems, and y’all down there are going to also be eating plenty of potatos
