DIYFS Podcast #6 Indianapolis: Champion Food Desert




Urban Permaculture show

Summary: In this weeks podcast, I talk about a recent blog by Matt Lerner over at Walkscore  (article here), where he had the sad task of notifying all of us that my fair city of Indianapolis is doing a notably poor job of getting healthy nutrient rich food to its residents. That's right, we have large areas of what are commonly referred to as food deserts. During the course of the podcast I discuss some of the base facts of what a food desert is, how (in my view) Indianapolis has developed them, and what we can do to fix the problem. During the course of my rant I cite the following websites/articles: EPA (food recovery/waste streams) Feeding America.org article NPR Article Indianapolis Zoning Code I hope you enjoy the Pod.
