Description

The north alabama agriplex, which works to promote north alabama's agriculture heritage and future, created the food for life program which promotes healthy food access and supplements science education in cullman county, alabama and surrounding areas. These goals, which align with the cncs healthy futures focus area, are accomplished through directly connecting people with local sources of fresh produce and education programs targeting children and adults in the community. Cullman like many rural areas in alabama has high rates of childhood and adult obesity among impoverished groups. Cullman also has a successful agricultural industry with many different types of crops and livestock produced locally. The combination of these two elements makes cullman uniquely suited for a program like food for life that promotes nutritious and local food choices among the community. Food for life utilizes seven americorps vistas to provide educational programming, crop gleaning and farmers market coordination, grant writing, and other services to help improve the health outcomes in cullman county and surrounding areas.
