Michael Kelly of GIY Ireland who provides monthly tips on how to grow your own vegetables on our site said “Food growing helps people acquire a deeper understanding of food (food empathy) and the connection between nutrient rich soil, healthy food and wellbeing. He said “studies show that food growers are more likely to eat fruits and vegetables, show higher levels of knowledge about nutrition and are more likely to continue healthy eating habits throughout their lives.”
