Through this New Jersey Economic Development Authority (NJEDA) Food Equity and Economic Development in New Jersey (FEED NJ) grant award, we are excited to deepen our collaboration with Newark Science and Sustainability, the City of Newark's Office of Sustainability, and 1Huddle to enhance access to healthy food and nutrition education. Our work will continue to strengthen the state's food security infrastructure by sponsoring the participation of several hundred families in a community-supported agriculture program that delivers fresh, locally grown produce; expanding and bringing together communities of practice, and supporting gamified digital food and nutrition education.
