Providence Business News had a good article in this issue about RI Dept of Health awarding grants to three communities looking to encourage and support local residence on heathy eating and exercise. Part of the grant is to promote local growing, buying and eating of healthy food.
The plan includes funding for more local markets, and residents ability to even walk, in densely populated areas, to those markets. Arpin Broadcast Network is housed at Hope Villiage where they do bustling crowds on weekends at a Farmer's Market. However, most people drive to the site, not walk.
On a future show, we are talking to experts who will help carry out the plan to produce and make readily available local, healthy food. We welcome those experts to share information with our readers through this blog.
Also, we'd love to have guests bloggers post on the Renewable Now blog as well.
