PUTting THE ANSWER in THE MIDDLE OF THE PROBLEM...
Feed Food Deserts More Farms!
That's the philosophy behind FarmToFoodDesert (FTFD). We are agricultural experts, food security advocates, community leaders, legislators and everyday people that see the starkness in food deserts across the country and are ready to do what works. Waiting for big grocery stores to evaluate communities enough to serve them hasn't worked. While we understand large scale grocery business, we know that many grocers "red line" underserved communities and this leaves the poorest ones out in the heat.
Movements are already making strides, but swamps and deserts are spreading faster than we can count. It's time to mobilize in a way that will stop this pandemic in its tracks and free up communities that are dehydrated by these systems.
FarmToFoodDesert = A Farm Food HUB, and mobility campaign that establishes community agricultural production access sites and places them in the heart of food deserts. Grocery chain models are costly, complicated, and depend on rooftop count. FTFD opens opportunities for education, food cultivation, continuous fresh food market access, and much more.
FTFD is a community development corporation that was founded on true American values with the experience of the people in mind. We are passionate about the future of communities across the nation and know that true sustainability starts with the sustenance of the people in them.
Our Simple Values:
Reconnect + restore local food production to the heart of the community where it started.
