The goal of "Hunger Grow Away" has been to cultivate food security "One Family at a Time." To achieve this the Abundant Harvest Garden (AHG) was developed, which is a micro-intensive food production system that can grow the produce needs for a family of four in a 1.44m2. It does this with 20% of the water a conventional garden uses. The AHG may put a family garden within reach of the poor and fresh produce can be a part of the daily diet. The AHG can be used in the most confined and difficult places, including pavement or rooftops. Hunger Grow Away is a non-profit organization that provides these gardening systems and information and assists in fund raising to purchase AHGs.
