The lovely people at Food Forward just anounced the luanch of a Farmer's Market Recovery Program! This is awesome news for FOOD JUSTICE lovers, recent grads, and hungry people. Why? Food Justice lovers should be excited because not only do programs like this reduce food waste and increase healthy food access but such inventive programs also are serving as models for futre expansion beyond the Santa Monica, Studio City, and Atwater Village markets. Recent graduates will love it because they are hiring a part time coordinator to do this great work, look for details in their blog post. Hungry people should love it because of the high quaility and local food that will be coming their way; all recovered food will be distributed within a seven mile radius of the market.
