Pollinating the model: Local Food Miami

I recently received a call from Mario Yanez of Earth Learning in Miami, FL.

Mario recently came across Local Food Cleveland and wanted to talk about how he might develop a similar online space for his region. After an inspiring presentation from Will Allen of Growing Power, a group of local food advocates in Miami came together to see how they might carry forward the ideas of urban agriculture and sustainability. Mario has modeled their website -… Continue

10% Grown Locally = 4,000 acres, 8,000 jobs and a $360 million economy

What would it look like if 10% of the food that families in Cleveland ate was grown within the city limits?

This question leads to an interesting and pretty inspiring story problem.

Follow me for a bit here:
1. According to the latest U.S. Census data, the City of Cleveland is home to about 438,000 people.

Peter:
This is a great site. Lots of cool discussion and resources.

Know most of your readers, will have heard of Food, Inc, a good expose of all that is wrong with the food industry, but also wanted to let you know about a fun and serious low budget film called EATING ALASKA (www.eatinglaska.com). No well lit experts or hidden cameras, but a wrty documentary about choices and dilemmas and an ex-vegetarian who ends up on the Alaskan frontier married to a fisher and hunter and sets off on a quest for the right thing to eat. Slow Food groups, libraries, high schools, and community and sustainability projects from Anchorage to Boston and NYC have been setting up screenings with local food potlucks, panels of local experts from beekeepers and ranchers to vegans and journalists,

Welcome ideas for use! send us a scribble at info@eatinglaska.com if you have thoughts or want to take a peak.

Keep up the good work.
