The purpose is to provide economic education specifically in the areas of finance, housing, food sovereignty and security. W will do this through land and house purchases in North and South Omaha. The land use will be for neighborhood gardens and greenhouses . We would also teach and promote growing home gardens in an effort to decrease food insecurity. We believe the promotion of economics for the community also includes food and home security. We would also teach youth these skills so that they can carry to future generations.
