Karen Lehman and the Illinois Fresh Taste Initiative have launched a blog, the practically titled Good Food for All.

In their own words (because I have to get back to work): 

“Good Food for All is a resource space for all those in the Greater Chicago Foodshed and beyond wishing to learn and engage with others in the local food movement.

“This collaborative space is dedicated to news, updates, events, and innovative ideas related to local food.

“‘Foodshed’ is a concept recently coined to represent where a given population’s food comes from and how it gets there. The focus for Good Food for All is the Greater Chicago Foodshed, which includes all of Illinois, in addition to parts of Indiana, Michigan, Wisconsin, Iowa, and even Minnesota.

“If the capacity of our foodshed was fully used and its products dedicated to the Chicagoland market, it could provide a very considerable portion of the region’s food needs, a healthy working landscape, and a significant stimulus to our economy.

“Good Food for All envisions a region in which diverse communities have access to healthy, affordable, sustainably produced, and fairly priced food.”
