This thread - yes!! Read the whole thing! We’re broken records here, but if I hear another person want to build a 4 season GH in the North to solve food insecurity or provide jobs, I might start flipping tables.

@roots2harvest uses food as a tool to connect people to one another through meaningful programs, initiatives and advocacy. 1/3

So much great info here to share and learn from!

Food banks are NOT the solution to food insecurity. Real solutions lie in policies that establish income equity, affordable housing & healthy communities. Ensuring the right to food isn't about giving people more food, it's about supporting their ability to access it themselves.
