Sept. 18, 2025	Victory Gardening Then and Now *Thursday, Sept. 18th, noon, Garden Commons (at Baptist Center)* Join us in UofL's organic, student-managed garden to learn how home gardens played a role in defeating global fascism and how we can harness that power again to undermine autocracy and re-democratize our food system. While the original context was wartime food shortages and supporting troops, modern victory gardens are driven by sustainability, health, and a desire for self-reliance. Today's gardens focus on reducing carbon footprints, promoting organic practices, and fostering stronger local economies. This is part of our fall series of Garden Workshops. The Garden Commons is a shared, collectively-managed space, open to participation any time from students, staff, faculty, and community members. Everyone who comes is welcome to share in the harvest! Connect with us and get all the details on Facebook or Instagram. Facebook Event.

The market is designed to increase access to fresh healthy food and offers several programs: Triple Dollar (SNAP) program - This program makes healthy food more affordable for individuals who receive Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits. Using SNAP Triple Dollars is simple. Customers visit the GSFM information booth, decide how much they want to spend, and swipe their SNAP cards. The market then matches twice this amount and gives them wooden tokens to spend directly with GSFM vendors. We match spending by the SNAP customer up to $20 per week. Customers can use the tokens to purchase any food for the household, such as fruits, vegetables, meat, breads, canned foods, and more. FreshRx -- The GSFM offers the FreshRx program in partnership with the Community Farm Alliance. The program serves expectant moms who receive Medicaid. After signing up, FreshRx participants get $26 in tokens each week to purchase fresh fruits and vegetables from GSFM vendors. Senior Farmers Market Nutrition Program (SrFMNP) -- Seniors (60+) who qualify are provided with $50 loaded onto a debit card to purchase fresh, unprocessed, locally grown fruits, honey, vegetables and herbs at approved farmers markets. Individuals can sign up for these benefits at Louisville's Neighborhood Places, the L&N Building on Broadway, and at the Nulu/Phoenix Hill Farmers Market. The Kentucky Department of Agriculture serves as the lead agency for SrFMNP. Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) -- The WIC Farmers Market Nutrition Program helps bring locally grown fresh fruits and vegetables into the homes of WIC participants. Each summer, local health departments issue $30 to eligible WIC recipients for the purchase of locally grown fruits, vegetables, and fresh-cut herbs.

Sept. 30. 2025	Distinguished Lecture Series – The Last Decade of Life and How to Spend it Outside of the Hospital Tuesday, September 30th, 4:30pm reception / 5:30pm lecture, The Filson Historical Society (1310 S. 3rd St.) Presented by the University of Louisville’s Christina Lee Brown Envirome Institute in collaboration with the Filson Historical Society. A reception will be held from 4:30-5:25pm, followed by the lecture at 5:30pm. This lecture offers a timely and important exploration of how we can live healthier, disease-free lives. Centered around the concept of healthspan—the portion of life spent in good health, as distinct from total lifespan—the session will challenge us to think differently about what it means to pursue health, rather than merely reduce disease risk. Leaders from the Christina Lee Brown Envirome Institute will reflect on their multiyear journey shaping a research agenda that reframes medicine around the foundations of well-being. Drawing from robust scientific evidence, the talk will highlight key building blocks of health—including nature, nutrition, and community—and why these require renewed attention in medical research and health systems. The presentation will also offer practical insights into what individuals can do now to promote their own healthspan. Local examples, especially in nature-based interventions and the possibilities of diet, will help ground these ideas in real-world impact. Dr. Aruni Bhatnagar is the Smith & Lucille Gibson Professor of Medicine, Chief of the Division of Environmental Medicine, and Director of the Christina Lee Brown Envirome Institute at the University of Louisville. A Fellow of the American Heart Association, he is recognized as a pioneer in the field of environmental cardiology. His research explores how oxidative stress from internal and environmental sources contributes to cardiovascular disease. Dr. Bhatnagar leads major initiatives such as the Green Heart Louisville Project and has authored hundreds of scientific publications while mentoring a large research team. He will be joined by colleagues from the Envirome Institute as part of the presentation and discussion. Register here.
