| Accessing the Real Price of Good Food |
|
How do we deliver good food to food deserts? Changemakers Day August 29, 2008 Access to healthy, fresh and sustainably grown food is a basic human right that is being systematically denied to those who live in historically excluded urban communities. Limited access to good food is only one symptom of a broken food system that affects people worldwide. Other symptoms include diet-related chronic health conditions, growing dependency on government food programs, and food insecurity. The question of “how” to get good food into urban food deserts requires us to think critically about the broken food system as a whole, and it challenges us to develop community-based solutions that empower and encourage those living and working in underserved areas.

From the Slow Food USA blog : "One panel, called “Accessing the Price of Good Food ,” attempted
to examine the problem of limited access to good food, diet-related
chronic health conditions, growing dependency on government food
programs, and food insecurity. An interesting and ultimately essential
contributor to the panel was Saru Jayaraman, from the Restaurant Opportunities Center."
