  • Building a Community-Based Sustainable Food System
    Building a Community-Based Sustainable Food System Case Studies and Recommendations Building a Community-Based Sustainable Food System Case Studies and Recommendations University of Michigan Urban & Regional Planning Capstone Project April 2009 Executive Summary The current global food system, while highly efficient in production, has produced many undesirable social and environmental impacts. Producers’ profit margins have significantly decreased over the last thirty years and agri- business organizations with global networks of production, processing, and distribution now dominate the food industry. Changing economic conditions have decreased the economic viability of small and medium-sized farms, increased fossil fuel consumption, reduced the number of farm-related local business and processing facilities and made the profession of farming less attractive to younger generations. In large part, food production has been removed from our communities, diminishing our collective knowledge of our region and agrarian practices. While the current food system offers consumers inexpensive food, the amount of processing, lengthy distribution channels, and global trade patterns favor prepared food that is calorie-rich but nutritionally deficient. Another challenge is that conventional food retail sources, such as grocery stores, are inequitably distributed throughout our communities. While middle and upper income neighborhoods have many grocery stores, cities such as Detroit, are often characterized as urban food deserts. In addition to large grocery chains and small markets, farmers markets, community supported agriculture (CSA) programs, and community gardens are emerging food suppliers within our communities that offer benefits for all and may specifically address the unmet needs of low-income residents. The food we eat has direct implications on our long-term health and the existing inequitable patterns of food retail disproportionally impact our poorest residents.
