Concept note-1: -The idea was that everyone could raise some fruit or vegetables. They were a way for people to feel patriotic and contribute to the war effort, and provided 40 percent of vegetables grown in the country during the war.
Concept note-2: -Labor and transportation shortages made it hard to harvest and move fruits and vegetables to market. So, the government turned to its citizens and encouraged them to plant “Victory Gardens.” They wanted individuals to provide their own fruits and vegetables. Nearly 20 million Americans answered the call.
Concept note-3: -What Is a Victory Garden? Victory gardens were vegetable gardens planted during the world wars in order to ensure an adequate food supply for civilians and troops.
Concept note-4: -During World War II, Victory Gardens were planted by families in the United States (the Home Front) to help prevent a food shortage. This meant food for everyone! Planting Victory Gardens helped make sure that there was enough food for our soldiers fighting around the world.
Concept note-5: -In wartime, governments encouraged people to plant victory gardens not only to supplement their rations but also to boost morale. They were used along with rationing stamps and cards to reduce pressure on the food supply.
