Sowing the seeds of victory : American gardening programs of World War I

"This book examines three programs: the National War Garden Commission, the United States School Garden Army, and the Woman's Land Army. The urgency of wartime mobilization enabled proponents to promote food production as a vital national security issue. The connection between the nation's food readiness and national security resonated within the context of America's political and cultural life."
