REFLECTION QUESTION
Food Advocate for More Food Options

What efforts would help food insecure regions have access to local, seasonal foods?

Emily Malaga Thompson 10/17/2019 3:31 PM

A few efforts that would help:
supporting local farmers by encouraging individuals and organizations to make the choice to choose good, real food and to keep their dollars local.
gleaning projects to harvest the bounty that would otherwise go to waste.
donating to your local food bank..
training and support to encourage growing your own - on any scale from an acre to a few pots of herbs.
