About this episode:
This is the first episode in March's discussion about food
insecurity (not knowing where your next meal comes from) and food inequity (not
having the financial or geographical capability to obtain quality food). The City
of Richmond's Food Policy Task Force was charged with reporting on food access issues
and developing recommendations for solving the City's problem. The City of
Richmond's Interim Food Policy Coordinator is Anne Darby, who was involved with
the Task Force and now works on issues relating to urban planning and urban
greening. She's creating a guide to zoning for urban agriculture start-ups,
serving as a liaison between the City and environmental stakeholders, and identifying
City land that might be signed over to a nonprofits.
Guest speaker:
Anne Darby, Senior Planner at the Richmond Regional Planning
District Commission and the City of Richmond's Interim Food Policy Coordinator
