A new report from the Wallace Center, Innovations in Local Food Enterprise: Fresh Ideas for a Just and Profitable Food System, addresses the issue of how consumer price and producer cost can meet in ways that translate into healthy, local food from a privilege to a right. Innovations in Local Food Enterprise analyzes and aggregates a collection of innovative solutions to overcoming difficult food access and food equity issues with a focus on market-based consumer-driven solutions for low-income, underserved communities. The report is based on learning from the Wallace Center's Healthy Urban Food Enterprise Development (HUFED) Center and others who are creating and implementing market-based and non-market-based food access solutions in a very hands-on, practical way.
The report is available online.
