Having access to healthy food is increasingly difficult in many of our local neighborhoods, especially in less affluent regions. This short video was created by the influential Los Angeles-based social enterprise organization, Public Matters; the group offers some insight into what can be done to help green some of our food deserts. Public Matters builds communities and strengthens local neighborhoods by using civic engagement, new media, public art, education and direct action. They work directly to empower local youth and residents through “designing and implementing long-term culturally-based programs…community building, economic development, neighborhood identity, youth leadership, and public health”. They promote change by working with different groups to create community-defined public identities.
