When Food Deserts, Junk Food Swamps, single sector economies, and automation collide....
here is how we create system shift.
The EDGE Team has developed a systemic approach to combating the food desert, work being automated away, and the fallout from a single sector economy in its rural base hub. EDGE and its team recognize the overlap of systemic issues in its local single sector economy, the local food desert and junk food swamp, and local substance addiction. The following graphs tell this story. We know, of course, that there are more contributing factors than these.
We have developed a training for rethinking these intertwined issues--to combat these systemic issues through a producers approach. We train professionals and community members to recognize and to act.
In an advanced industrial society, if significant amounts of the population is poor, overweight, and addicted, then the systems that society has created directly or inadvertently continue to support those outcomes. The EDGE team takes a systemic view of these intertwined issues, and applies on-the-ground tactics by focusing on producing producers to nourish the soil and nourish the community.
