What Changes When You Can Grow Your Own Fresh Food

Most organizations don’t stall on whether local food production is a good idea. They stall on the first step.

Organizations on the front line are seeing the scope of the hunger crisis up close, and it keeps growing. More families relying on food banks. More students who need a school meal to get through the day. More people walking into shelters that were already at capacity.

Fresh food is the hardest part of that to solve: it's the most expensive to source, the quality is whatever the supply chain hands you, and a painful share of it spoils before it reaches anyone.
