Food
Group focusing towards how food structures and communities can be mapped.
Notes/Ideas from the food group
Presentation on walls of shanty:
• Images of food from around the world
• Maps of where food comes from
• Statistics: food on average travels over 1500 miles to get to your plate
• Average travel distance of food for people in other countries (vs. Americans/TC residents)
• Map out some common foods that we eat and everything that goes into getting it to our plate (packaging, transport, labor, fossil fuels, health, freshness, etc)
• What resources do we have within 100 miles of Mpls/St Paul? Could we do it? (locavore, macro-biotic?)
