Community Food Assessment Program

San Diego County:

Morse High School Community Food Assessment (In-Progress)
This assessment will focus on such issues as: evaluation of access to food, in terms of number and types of places to obtain food (along with transportation options); evaluation of food quality, price and cultural appropriateness; evaluation of community perceptions/attitudes/ needs around food. Additionally information will be gathered regarding improving health and activity levels, and hunger. The outcomes of this assessment will be used to plan the urban farm and the results desired from its development. In a collaborative partnership with the Morse High School, ALOFT (A Local Organic Farmland Trust - project of Back Country Land Trust); and San Diego Urban Farms. In addition, a new urban farm will be developed on campus with all of the associated curricula pertaining to its development, implementation and on-going operation.
