The Garden Project in San Fransico has developed a successful crime prevention model and reduced high crime rates and recidivism (repeat offending). The rest of the world is looking at The Garden Project as it is a successful model for community change.

So what do you think about a garden being able to reduce crime?

Urban gardening programs have been shown time and time again to raise the quality of life and lower crime in the areas where they are present.

Heifer International has done some great work in this area, but other organizations are involved as well.

Local gardening and a decentralization of the food supply would also reduce corporate white collar crime as well because it would take power out of the hands of the mega corporations that we currently rely on to provide our most basic of needs.
