(2026·辽宁大连模拟)In a city of wealth, comfort and fine food, there's a quiet alley (小巷) in London's Camden where passersby often take several photos.Sharing space with elegant cafes and worldclass bars, a tiny fruit and vegetable stand seems to have been transported from a country road far away.But what makes the stall even more remarkable in the heart of Camden is that payment is on the honor system—customers just throw coins into an old mailbox—and most of the items on offer are priced at £1 in a neighborhood where fresh food usually goes for much, much more.
The greengrocer with a heart of gold—a Chinese immigrant in her 50s who runs this stall alone—is rarely glimpsed by her grateful customers.Lena Wong rises before dawn to prepare to work in her small plot in Enfield, outside London.Depending on the season, she'll reap onions, eggplant, green peppers, etc.And she works several overnight shifts every week at a nursing home to supplement her and her husband's modest salaries.
All this started one day as she was selling produce in Enfield, and a young customer said that he barely earned enough to buy food.“I hate the idea of young people walking around hungry,” Lena Wong said.The seed was planted.“I want young people to feel that they're not forgotten, that they are treasured,” she said.“That not everyone is out for himself.I can make money anytime.Right now, I want to give young people a helping hand.”
Sometimes, when she arrives late in the day, customers get a chance to thank her in person.In return, she's fond of offering botanical sayings that she collected from a life that has had its share of both joy and pain.“Even in a field full of weeds,” Lena Wong likes to say, “you can grow something— if you put in the effort.”

(2025·江西南昌联考)The Produce Aggregation Program, run by Southside Community Land Trust (SCLT), connects smallscale urban farmers with local communities in need of healthy food.The program collects and processes crops from multiple farmers, combining them into larger quantities for wholesale distribution.This helps overcome challenges small farms face, such as limited production capacity and lack of access to processing facilities and distribution networks.
SCLT operates a farmtomarket processing center and manages logistics (后勤) for regular distribution.The program supports 27 farmers, many of whom are refugees, immigrants, or members of marginalized communities.While many of the farmers still rely on farmer markets, the program provides a more stable income source.
Twice weekly during the growing season, SCLT orders produce from participating farmers, who deliver it to the food hub.There, it is sorted and packed into $20value bags, each containing a variety of fresh produce.These are distributed at no cost through community partners such as clinics, recreation centers, and childcare programs.Some clinics distribute the produce through VeggieRx, a program where doctors prescribe (开处方) vegetables to patients.
The program is currently funded by the Local Food Purchase Assistance Cooperative Agreement Program, which was launched to support underserved farmers and increase food access.However, funding uncertainty remains a challenge.Rising costs, supply chain issues, limited land availability, and climate change all add strain to food assistance programs.
Despite these obstacles, SCLT continues its yearround work to improve food access.In addition to the Produce Aggregation Program, the nonprofit supports 60 community gardens, offers training, and runs educational programs and internships.Altogether, its efforts provide healthy, culturally relevant food to about 1, 200 families annually, with the support of local farmers, volunteers, and community partners.
