?The Power of Community in Fighting Hunger ??In the fight against hunger, community is our greatest strength. When we come together, we can create lasting change and ensure that no one goes to bed hungry. Whether it’s through local food drives, community gardens, or supporting small-scale farmers, every action counts. ??At Help Feed One, we believe in the power of collective action. By working hand in hand with communities, we can build resilient food systems, reduce food waste, and provide nutritious meals to those in need. ??Join our movement to make hunger history. Together, we can feed one, and change the world. #CommunityPower #HelpFeedOne #EndHunger #LocalAction #SustainableCommunities

?? #TurnbackTuesday ?? #The51 In Action - Nourishing Communities in Times of Need ?? As the COVID-19 pandemic disrupted lives and livelihoods in 2021, SupportDDS & ZimWorX through #The51 was able to aid an organization called Chenga Ose Association. The51 stepped up to address the growing issue of food insecurity in this community. Recognizing the dire circumstances faced by many, our organization launched a vital initiative to provide food packs for those most affected. For 3 months, we worked tirelessly to distribute these essential supplies, ensuring that families had access to the sustenance they needed. This #The51 initiative was a testament to the power of community collaboration and our unwavering commitment to support one another during challenging times. Together, we weathered the storm and emerged stronger, reminding us of the importance of food security and collective care. ???? #The51 #ChengaOse #CommunityOutreach #FoodSecurity #SupportDDS #ZimWorX #CommunitySupport #TogetherWeCan See less

What do food deserts, food security, #nutrition, water, drought, flooding, groundwater depletion, industrial agriculture, urban farming, planetary health and people health have in common? Friends and colleagues outside of the USA are usually quite shocked when I share the state of humanitarian and environmental crisis we are currently experiencing here. It's taken decades of degenerative practices by local, state and federal government, financial institutions and industry to fall to the low extremes we find ourselves today. What makes matters worse is we've simultaneously spread those degenerative practices abroad over the past 4 decades. This article highlights a negative result from one area of our degenerative practices in our #foodsystems but it falls short in covering holistic solutions. There are approximately 28 million #foodinsecure people in the USA and this article does well in acknowledging the large number of #fooddeserts which exist here. Allocating funds for local #foodaccess infrastructure is important but how is it a wise use of tax-payer dollars if those grocery stores close their doors within several years of opening or cannot insure a steady supply of nutrient dense food due to long distance importing and/or the food has been grown in nutrient poor soils? Given that approximately 55% of the world's population now lives in urban areas (with that number projected to reach just under 70% by the year 2050), would a better use of funds be the education of individual families, neighborhoods and #communities to learn how to grow at least of portion of their own healthy foods where they live, work and play? Utilizing #greenroofs, alleyways, vacant lots, apartment and condo balconies, backyards, schoolyards, government and corporate campuses, etc. to grow a portion of the needed food in a #community would go a very long way in increasing #foodsecurity and #communityhealth. Added benefits can include spending more time outside, in nature, as well as increasing face-to-face social interactions while increasing community practices. We can also stack functions and create a multi-benefit system when we expand beyond a single-focused outcome. While we increase local food security in the aforementioned ways, why not add #rainwaterharvesting to aid #stormwatermanagement and help reduce #waterloss down drains, #groundwater drawdown and #drought? This also helps to #rehydratelandscapes, repair the small #water cycle and build the soil sponge to help reduce #flooding. I've only scratched the surface of #possibilities here. Let's move toward more #holistic solutions and #systemsthinking so that we're increasing our regenerative capacity. #Plantaryhealth = #PeopleHealth.
