Baton
Rouge, LA – Southern University Ag Center Extension Associate Stephanie Elwood
and area youth recently filmed an educational video on growing figs.
The
video, which was filmed at the LSU Burden Research Center in Baton Rouge, La.,
will be produced by the Louisiana Public Broadcasting Network (LPB) as part of
the Center’s, “Eradicating Food Deserts Through the Development of School
Gardens,” program.
This
program was developed by the Center in response to the United States Department
of Agriculture (USDA) designating East Baton Rouge as a food desert. These
areas are described as communities with limited access to fresh produce.
The
program is funded by a USDA/National
Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) Capacity Building Grant.
The
completed video will be available in the coming weeks.
For
