PHOENIX — The program will also build upon existing community projects across the state including the Regional Center for Border Health, a network of 30 rural health clinics along the Arizona-Mexico border, and the Maricopa County Chef in the Garden program through the Blue Watermelon project, a program that aims to bring gardens into schools and support underserved high school culinary students.
"Understanding how the food that you eat and how to prepare it can actually be used to treat, prevent and reverse the diseases of our time." said the founding director of the program Dr. Shad Marvasti. Chef Sasha Raj, who owns a vegan and vegetarian restaurant in the Valley, is mentoring the students in the kitchen.
