Description

Food access disparities are influenced by a complex food system in Minnesota that exemplifies a web of factors: food production, distribution, marketing, and consumption. Food access is a health issue but also a community development, urban planning, and equity issue. Ensuring the availability of safe, nutritious, and culturally acceptable food is vital to maintaining healthy communities. Food access in particular is an issue of importance for Latino communities in Southeastern Minnesota given their role as key actors in the labor market that supports agricultural production and meatpacking, as well as the particular needs they may have as newly arrived communities. This document provides a comprehensive summary of all activities carried as part of project entitled 'Food Mapping with Latino Immigrants in Southeastern Minnesota'. The summary outlines the goals and objectives of the project, the tasks that were carried out in order to develop community engagement efforts, and tools that were considered for the project, our initial research findings based on our outreach efforts, and the outcome of this phase of the project.
