1Description
Hey, what's up Plant People? I hope everyone is doing well during these wild times we're in. I can't wait for you to hear today's episode. My guest, Dr. Jessica Tullar Caroom, is an epidemiologist and public health professional, community activist and organizer, leader of an organization that addresses hunger through gardening efforts, and the founder of a school garden movement in Lubbock. She's brilliant, insightful, and funny, and we dive deep into some of the issues surrounding health and wellness and how we might be able to address those things with horticulture and education.
Article on how overweight and undernourished is the new public health concern.
