Food Share is an organization in Toronto, Ontario. On their website they explain wonderfully:
At FoodShare we work on food issues “from field to table” - meaning that we focus on the entire system that puts food on our tables: from the growing, processing and distribution of food to its purchasing, cooking and consumption.
We spoke with Rene Biberstein who works directly with the Food Link Hotline, which connects people to their neighborhood food resources.
They also have all sorts of food related info, including how-to’s for things like rooftop gardening and a month-by-month plan to starting your own community garden.
I think it would be very hard to make something like that work in a disaster situation. The food produced would not be able to sustain more than a few people at a time. Did they offer any solutions for disaster situations?
Are you planning on making any kind of hard copy of this project? I keep wanting to send these to a friend, but then I realize he doesn’t have access to internet at home and it might be crazy to watch all these in a library… I’d love to be able to get a DVD or something when it’s all over. it’s all so intriguing and inspiring…
