The USANA Foundation works to combat hunger and malnutrition all over the world.
We've talked with Michelle Benedict, Global Programs Director for USANA Foundation, about the amazing things USANA Kids Eat program does for hundreds of kids in Utah, sending them home from school with backpacks of food.
Michelle joined us again to talk more about their global programs.
She says food insecurity is a worldwide problem and the USANA Foundation addresses both short-term hunger and long-term sustainable solutions.
One of their programs is The Garden Towers, which are basically vertical garden that empower people to provide for themselves.
It's a simple solution that can provide quality nutrition in many global regions.
Michelle says the gardens are made from durable material and each tower can hold more than 100 regionally-native plants that can provide 1,100 meals every year and be harvested year after year.
Michelle says she's personally witnessed how these Towers can transform the lives of people. She just returned from three weeks of service in The Philippines and Malaysia, where the Towers were set up.
