Excerpt:
Cleveland’s urban agriculture took center stage Thursday as the deputy secretary of Agriculture at the USDA toured one urban farm in Northeast Ohio.
Rid-All Green Partnership, a Cleveland urban farm, hosted Ohio’s 11th district Congresswoman Shontel Brown and Dr. Jewel Bronaugh, Deputy Secretary of Agriculture at the USDA. The two toured the 18-acre venture, which teaches nutrition, cooking and provides jobs to the community.
“We keep coming up with brand new ideas to incorporate into this farming piece here and health and wellness,” agriculture specialist and educator David Hester said. “You don’t have to have a full acre of land to do it. You can just have a small plot and still feed a family of two.”
