In a New York Times article from the past Wednesday, Karen Washington talks about how urban farming makes organic, fresh food available to more and more people, for cheaper:
“It’s not about making money,” Ms. Washington said. “We’re selling so that people in our neighborhood have good quality. There’s no Whole Foods in my neighborhood.
So many people in Seattle are doing similarly amazing things to make good food more available. I’m beginning to realize how many good projects I come across from day to day, and how much of my own work (whether design work or manual labor) is for groups who are focused on issues around local, organic, fair trade, or direct trade food.
Hence, to highlight the creative work people are doing to design better food systems, as well as to house a topical portfolio of my own design (graphic, web, or written) I announce the creation of the Food System Design category on this blog.
