Growing healthy food to help close Chicago’s 20-year death gap
Published 1 month, 1 week ago
Description
In West Garfield Park on Chicago’s West Side, residents have the lowest life expectancy in the entire city.
They’re expected to live on average until they’re 67 years old in this mostly Black low-income neighborhood… compared to 87 in the Loop.
But there is a homegrown solution to help people live longer … a network of community gardens.
