An increasing trend in obesity has been observed between 1990 to 2017. This is an issue because obesity can lead to other health complications such as diabetes.This report focuses on the efforts of a non-profit organization called Seeds of Hope, to improve the well-being of residents in the Los Angeles communities. Their goal is to expand their community gardens to help those who do not have the means to access healthy foods. To progress towards their goal, maps were produced using Geospatial Information Systems to create maps that highlight obesity, poverty, crime rates, park space, and food accessibility. In addition, this report also emphasizes how the goal of Seeds of Hope can become beneficial for community involvement, conserving population of pollinators, and bringing environmental justice to Los Angeles communities.
