an agriculture in the us and other developed countries programs are poping up in most cities around the country that use urban agriculture as a tool for social change it has become more than just a way to get food but also a way to connect communities and help people become who they want to be cheezy sounding i know but there is some awesome stuff out there carrots says this young intern from foodshare a toronto non profit urban agriculture program idrc photo by laura berman foodshare is an organization that take a broad look at the entire food system how food is produced distributed and consumed how people get their food is also important food distribution systems that involve communities and help to create neighborhood leaders have a great potential to enhance individual and community empowerment by leading people to feel that they have some control over this very basic part of their lives again because of its material cultural and social importance food is special in its power to mobilize people to action all our programs are based on this community building principle foodshare tries to take a multifaceted innovative and long term approach to hunger and food issues this means that we re involved in diverse actions grassroots program delivery advocacy for social assistance reform job creation and training nutrition education farmland preservation and campaigns for comprehensive food labelling are just a few examples of the areas we work in foodshare was started in 1985 by the mayor of toronto and many citizens concerned about the growing hunger issues of the city since then they have been actively involved in tons of projects all over the city it is part of the school system the farmers markets and food banks of the city as well as host a hunger hotline cooking classes gardens and garden education and healthy food choices classes they also have a program called good food boxes started in 1994 which runs similarly to a large buying club the project distributes boxes of fresh and often local food throughout the city for either 12 or 32 depending of the version they choose professional evaluation of the good food box shows that participating in the program helps people access a more nutritious diet it is now thought that up to 70 of deaths result from diseases that have a diet related dimension and there is mounting evidence that eating enough fruit and vegetables is key to preventing disease not only is it a matter of justice that everyone should have access to the food they need to keep them healthy it also makes sense because of the enormous costs to the health care system that result from treating these diseases the good food box makes top quality fresh food available in a way that does not stigmatize people fosters community development and promotes healthy eating even though i love these organizations and i think they re doing an awesome job i just want to point this out urban gardening programs mostly cater to low income communities i agree that these communities there are lots of problems in all our communities in the unites states but i find it fascinating that most programs are run by middle class college is mostly share this share on facebook opens in new window facebook share on x opens in new window x share on reddit opens in new window reddit like loading leave a comment cancel reply
