Recently 2017 OSI Community Fellow, Ausar Daniels was featured on WYPR’s Life in the Balance to talk about helping communities in Baltimore through urban agriculture and other health initiatives.
Daniels founded the Greater Mondawmin Empowerment Project (GMEP) to combat food insecurity and the negative effects associated with limited or no access to healthy, affordable food. GMEP, which partners with Tubman House Urban Farms, facilitates free workshops on urban agriculture, culinary arts, and wellness. Daniels runs a Young Farmers Program, a summer training program in urban agriculture, community activism, water conservation, and construction for young people from the surrounding neighborhoods.
