Birmingham, AL Birmingham Food Corps community food deserts

In Progress

The City of Birmingham is developing the Birmingham Food Corps program to address the issue of community food deserts. The city estimates that 70% of its residents lack access to high-quality, affordable food. The Birmingham Food Corps will be staffed by recent graduates to scale the success of hyper-local urban farms and generate community-driven solutions for increasing food access. The Birmingham Food Corps proposal was selected as a finalist in the 2021 Global Mayors Challenge.
