Food - Coggle Diagram
Food
group work: what would a food resilient and equitable neighborhood look like?
access to fresh, nutritious food (preferable if it's affordable!)
aka no food deserts
diverse array of food options
linking community to agriculture
farmer's markets
Co-ops
i.e Down to Earth Cooperative, where members (predominantly students) spend at least 5 hours a semester working at a farm in Maryland and 10 hours contributing in other ways, like cooking, cleaning, or menu planning, and they get weekly dinners in return.
innovative business and economic models
i.e Trader Joes (making shopping fun instead of convenient, not buying all store brands, cutting costs by not having butchery/bakery)
maybe there is a way to combine model like TJ's with local production to shorten the supply chain
Solutions to waste
participating in programs like To Good To Go
"Ugly Food" movement and programs
increasing popularity in dumpster diving behind supermarkets
changing stigma against composting
holding corporations accountable
Case study: Senegal
Corporations convinced governments that taxes could only be paid in cash not crops
Peasants stopped growing basic food crops and started growing cash crops
they are constantly in debt because they take out loans and do not receive as much as they pay back
