Why We Do This Work
An Uncommon Way To Solve Food Equity
Climate change has profound negative impacts on human health directly and indirectly.
Direct health risks from a changing climate include: temporary and permanent homelessness, lack of access to food, exposure to extreme conditions, heat-related morbidity and mortality, changes in infectious diseases and exposure to poor air quality. Indirect health risks include the erosion of community engagement, isolation, adverse pregnancy outcomes, higher rates of pulmonary, neurological, and cardiovascular diseases, and worsening mental health. These risks affect all US residents but have disproportionate repercussions for under-resourced and overburdened communities and individuals, such as communities of color, children, people with disabilities, experiencing homelessness, chronic diseases, and our older adults.
Structural racism and discrimination against groups that have been marginalized play a direct role in health inequities and are a part of our current public health crises. These disenfranchised populations are already experiencing an unprecedented decline in life expectancy due to environmental, social, political, and economic conditions that determine community health and well-being. Direct and indirect climate related health issues threaten to exacerbate the health of our most vulnerable populations. Creating climate-resilient health systems, implementing adaptation measures, and mitigating greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions can protect human health.
We are social advocacy and food equity entrepreneurs who are spearheading the incorporation of new concepts into our programs and leading the way in mitigating climate impact in our programs. We view the well-being of communities as fundamentally dependent on the intersection of community social engagement, nutritious food they are empowered to grow and harvest by climate neutral/negative technology and access to healthcare that is holistic and centered on the well-being of the individual within their community.
