READ program

The READ program (Reducing Environmental and Agricultural Disparities) is an initiative aimed at improving environmental quality and health in communities affected by pollution and agricultural practices. It works by identifying areas with environmental risks, researching their impact on local populations, and implementing strategies to reduce exposure. The goal is to promote healthier environments, support sustainable agriculture, and address disparities that affect vulnerable communities. Through collaboration among scientists, policymakers, and communities, READ seeks to ensure equitable access to clean air, water, and land, ultimately fostering healthier living conditions for all residents.
