Barry University Food Security and Community Well-Being AFVN
 
 
 
The AmeriCorps VISTA Summer Associate project will address issues of community health and well-being, particularly food access and diet related health problems in low-income neighborhoods located near the university's main campus in Miami-Dade County (pop. 2.5 million) that are classified by the US Department of Agriculture as urban food deserts. The initiative will focus on the further development of the Barry Urban Garden (BUG) and building community resiliency in the La Paloma neighborhood, an underserved and under-resourced community to the immediate northwest of the university's campus.
