We’re visiting Jamiah Hargins, a visionary, inventor and self-taught urban farmer. Amongst many other amazing projects Jamiah founded Crop Swap LA, a social enterprise that helps people across LA start microforms, conserve water, and grow nutrient-rich organically grown veggies, fruits and herbs for their communities.
Jamiah wants to help empower underserved communities while giving them access to fresh food by planting small, sustainable farms that utilize rainwater harvesting in lots across L.A. His goal is to eradicate food insecurity in all communities affected by food apartheid in Southern California. Check them out at www.cropswapla.com
Black Americans are nearly 400% more likely than white Americans to live in a neighborhood that lacks a full-service supermarket and Latinx people make up two-thirds of California's food-insecure households. According to studies by the USDA, large swaths of South L.A. suffer from low access to fresh food causing people to rely on fast food which is highly processed and nutritionally inadequate, this poses a significant risk to the health and causes cancer, heart disease, Alzheimer’s, and type 2 diabetes
L.A., once the largest agricultural county in the United States, is now the county with the largest population of food-insecure people If 25 % of local food need was met with programs like Crop Swap LA almost 30k new jobs would be created, providing work to about 1 in 8 unemployed residents. It's inspiring to see initiatives like this providing real solutions
