Transcript of Whole Measures for Community Food Systems: Community Values in Evaluation & Planning
Dudley Greenhouse
Community Process Goals:
Encourage community to think broadly and holistically
Space for members to be involved in less and more intensive ways
A process that would offer guidance, but also flexibility
= WHOLE MEASURES
During the winter of 2010-11, The Food Project conducted a series of open houses which included visioning sessions in which community members gave input on what values they thought would be important to be reflected in the community bays. From these brainstorms, in partnership with the advisory committee, we created the following outcomes that we hope the community bays will achieve. Describe how your project will contribute to the following outcomes. Note that you are not expected to meet all outcomes, but that proposals will be scored according to how many outcomes they are able to achieve. OUTCOME ACTIVITY 1) JUSTICE AND FAIRNESS
Increases access to fresh, healthy produce for underserved population(s)
Contributes to the creation of a fair food system
Provides food production resources to underserved population(s)
2) STRONG COMMUNITIES Programming is intentional about using space and programming to build community amongst participants
The Dudley neighborhood has a rich culture of food production. The program will build on this and seek out and/or strengthen relationships with our skilled neighborhood home chefs and gardeners.
3) VIBRANT FARMS Growing space is used productively
