该调查确定并确定了我们需要解决的问题和有趣的问题 pathways that we are looking at delving into for the delivery of vegetables such as mobile veggie vans and working with the tribes to develop a delivery system for people 谁要新鲜蔬菜?. 在当地的杂货店，蔬菜是进口的， 但有了一个移动杂货店，可以为当地农民创造一个市场 伯杰.
The idea of mobile veggie vans would not only provide access to fresh produce, but also fill in the transportation gap that many tribal members experience on both reservations. Even if someone has access to a car,y face an hour or longer drive, one way, just 去最近的大卖场. 再加上汽油和汽车保养的费用，还有这个 对许多部落成员来说，去买新鲜农产品的旅行往往是遥不可及的.

In addition, interest in family or community gardens and container gardens has been 在过去的几年里，这两个部落社区的死亡人数都在增加. CFRA与 both tribes and offers garden technical assistance for the challenging growing conditions. 仅在2017年，就有近300个支持请求.
