FOOD SOVEREIGNTY
The Good Food District (GFD)
Our GFD initiative is a community-rooted place-making effort to address food insecurity in the neighborhoods of the Greater Southeastern San Diego (GSESD). We are creating an Equitable Food Oriented Development (EFOD), which aims to elevate and integrate urban agriculture as a key component of community revitalization in food-insecure neighborhoods.
The GFD is our model for transformation, and aims to incorporate arts and culture and wealth building as tools for place making. During the first phase of the work we are implementing community engagement activities that contribute to developing neighborhood-based social capital.
The next phase will focus on wealth building activities that strengthen existing small businesses in the area and identifies new food related businesses. Interim activation projects will yield recommendations for long term use of public assets that reflect the values and identity of the neighborhood stakeholders. In partnership with developers and land owners, we believe the act of growing food uses soil as an ally in re-building neighborhoods.
