Foodsheds are the agricultural equivalent of watersheds: The "agro-ecological footprint" necessary to feed a community or a region. Foodshed analysis uses a variety of data sources and disciplines to develop a map of food production and consumption. Using this map, producers and consumers can begin to modify their regional food ecology to make it healthier, more equitable, economically stronger, increasingly dependent on renewable resources, less wasteful, and more resilient in the face of disaster. Usually this means regional food ecology and agriculture becomes more diverse and more local, and strengthens farms and communities in many ways. On this page you will find: 1) Steps towards a Louisville Foodshed analysis 2) Links and Resources for Foodshed analysis 3) Proposals for production and marketing collaborations which enhance the health of regional foodsheds. |
