Description

As part of the Equitable Food Access in Indianapolis Neighborhoods initiative, partners in the city’s Northeast Corridor will host the Equitable Food Planning Summit on September 17th to convene residents, community leaders, subject matter experts and civic organizations to develop a vision of equitable food access, coupled with strategies for physical developments, programmatic partnerships and investment to achieve that vision in the Northeast Corridor. The community-based planning and implementation process is a collaborative approach to determine which food projects will be supported, launched or expanded, with emphasis on ensuring all projects improve food access and economic mobility for the area, are community-led, and help build racial equity. Examples include but are not limited to community kitchens, infrastructure support for farmers, grocery projects, mobile markets and more.
