The Studio@620 welcomes The Edible Peace Patch Project, a new nonprofit organization that will use sustainable urban agriculture and healthy eating as core activities in an effort to build social capital on the south side of St. Petersburg, Fla., and forge a new kind of community.
In partnership with Pinellas County Schools, the Florida Department of Agriculture, and public and private institutions, the project will work with at-risk youth, homeless people, and community volunteers to develop a working community and school supported urban farm, schoolyard vegetable gardens, and a sustainable food culinary training program.
