Description
Sitting at the northern edge of one of the world's foremost agricultural producing regions, sacramento is surrounded by an abundance of food production and the city has designated itself "america's farm-to-fork capital". Yet one in six sacramento county residents does not have reliable access to food. This disconnection has led many nonprofits to push for sacramento to become america's farm-to-every-fork capital - a region that doesn't just tout local food consumption, but rather nourishes and empowers local people. Sacramento is an emblematic example of what many experts continue to assert: community health and food security are not a problems of food supply. Rather, IT's about the systems, education, policies, access, and socioeconomics of a region that affect health and opportunity for generations. This community food project seeks to address these issues and empower greater community self-reliance through empowering food-related entrepreneurship, nutrition education, supporting local farms, increased civic participation in food issues, and building healthy food environments through projects such as community gardens. These programs will lead to a healthier sacramento that meets the food needs of low-income individuals, and addresses several determinants of health and food system change.
