Em andamento

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.
