>Just 12 days after the attack on Pearl Harbor the Secretary of Agriculture co-hosted a conference designed to "discuss and formulate a broad coordinated program for enlisting interest in and guiding a national campaign to encourage home and community gardens as a defense measure" and "to reinforce the effort to reach the goal...of 5,760,000 farm gardens for 1942, to improve health through encouraging better food habits, and the use of high-vitamin and mineral foods, to improve home food supplies and aid in maintaining morale." (U.S. Department of Agriculture, 1942. National Defense Gardening Conference: Washington, D.C., December 19-20, 1941, p. 2).- Sowing the Seeds of Victory, by Hayden-Smith, Rose. (2014)
