Gardening, hunting, foraging can improve food security, according to study in Vermont and Maine

New research from the University of Vermont and University of Maine shows that while a large percentage of residents already gardened, fished, hunted, foraged and raised backyard animals before the COVID-19 pandemic, more people, especially those experiencing food insecurity, picked up those activities and improved their food security 9-12 months later.
