Big and small things we can do to provide fresh, healthy food for our community: Mindy Todd interviews Ali Berlow about her new book The Food Activist Handbookon The Point.
The book features dozens of ideas that anyone can try, from creating a neighborhood kitchen for preserving fresh food, to connecting food pantries with food producers, starting a school garden, and organizing a community composting initiative. These actions help keep farmers on the land and family farms intact, keep money in the local economy, reduce the carbon footprint associated with food transportation, and preserve local landscapes. Small steps can create big changes in a community’s food quality, helping to support a better food system.
