Hope Is an Imperative
Post Carbon Fellow Majora Carter's speech at the recent Bronx Food Summit in New York, about her vision for an American City Farms program, was reported as part of this piece on urban food in the Huffington Post.
From the article:
In her opening remarks, Majora Carter of Sustainable South Bronx described her hope for high-yield urban agriculture, which she intends to support through her newly launched American City Farms program. Her vision is to make starting urban farm models as simple as opening a fast food franchise, but with wildly different health outcomes. She calls such efforts "monuments to hope and possibility" for this neighborhood.
What's gone wrong in the Bronx to make a conference about food access necessary? The easiest answer is decades of disinvestment in a low-income neighborhood by traditional investors that has made the neighborhood unappealing to large grocers, but that misses the point. There are two more significant things happening: availability of financing and poverty itself.
