“My name is Wendy Demark-Wahnefried and I am very excited about the opportunity to lead the Harvest for Health study. I am Professor in the School of Health Professions' Department of Nutrition Sciences at the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB), and also the Associate Director of Cancer Prevention and Control at the UAB Comprehensive Cancer Center.

Cancer survivorship is a key interest of mine, and for over 25 years, I have been developing programs that can improve the quality and quantity of life among cancer survivors.  In Harvest for Health, it is so great to see to cancer survivors working with their master gardeners to grow lush and productive vegetable gardens.”
