Will your Garden be Heart Healthy in 2026?

Community Health Advocates

Advocacy • Awareness • Action

Staying Aware

  • Emerging cardiometabolic trends
  • Community health signals
  • Food access and affordability

Data & Design

  • Crop-specific garden planning
  • Seasonal yield tracking
  • Health-informed planting choices

Awareness to Action

  • AI-assisted recipes
  • Diet matching for health needs
  • Community health monitoring

Prevention Reduces Cost

Community gardens support disease prevention by making it easier for individuals to follow lifestyle guidance that prevents or manages:

  • Hypertension
  • Type 2 diabetes
  • Obesity
  • Cardiovascular disease

Better adherence → fewer complications → fewer costly medical visits.
This shifts the economic burden from treatment to prevention — driven locally by community advocacy.

“Advocacy begins with awareness. Healing begins with listening.”
