Mariela Cedeno - Investing in sustainable agriculture
The document discusses the Mandela Marketplace approach, which aims to foster economic empowerment and community health through various food-related initiatives. These initiatives include operating a worker-owned grocery cooperative, establishing an alternative distribution network to support local farmers, increasing access to healthy foods through corner stores and produce stands, and providing financing and loans to community entrepreneurs and farmers. The approach aims to address gaps left by traditional markets and views the local food economy as a way to catalyze sustainable community development through community ownership models.
Shoppers help feed homeless with influence tv purchases
Shoppers can help feed the homeless in Los Angeles by purchasing everyday products through InfluenceTV.org, which will donate a portion of each sale to organizations serving the homeless like The Dream Center. The Dream Center's Under the Bridge program serves hot meals to 1,500 homeless people in Skid Row each week. Dr. Michael Clifford, chairman of InfluenceTV.org, calls on shoppers to buy household goods through their site to support feeding the homeless, as millions of Americans are close to becoming homeless themselves.
White Paper
BrightFarms recognized the growing demand for locally grown produce and built greenhouse farms near supermarkets to make local produce easily accessible year-round. By developing partnerships to finance each greenhouse sustainably, BrightFarms emerged as a thought leader in the local food movement. Seal the Seasons aims to similarly connect consumers to local farmers through frozen locally grown produce, an untapped market opportunity. They plan to brand and package frozen local produce to create customer loyalty, translating BrightFarms's model to the frozen market.

Freeze! In the name of world hunger
This document proposes a campaign to reduce food waste by encouraging consumers to make better use of their freezers. The campaign would tell the story of a reformed super villain called "The Freezer" who educates children about food waste and climate change. Through comic books, films and a microsite, the campaign would deliver positive messages about individuals' ability to be part of the solution by freezing more food. The goal is to change attitudes and pressure retailers to change, with the desired outcomes of reducing tonnes of wasted food. The campaign is intended to have multiple chapters that continue the story and characters over time.

Health 3.0 Leadership Conference: Bay Area Hospital Sourcing Project with Ari...Center for Public Health Practice & Leadership at UC Berkeley
In Spring 2013, we are on the precipice of dramatic, disruptive change in the health field that offers an unprecedented opportunity and challenge to transform health care and population health.
We know that traditional public health approaches along with more and better health care are not enough to improve health outcomes, equity, and cost. We must also:
- implement sustainable, fundamental "upstream" changes that address the root causes of disease and disability; and
- transform the way we deliver health care to ensure access to quality, affordable health care for all.
Enjoy this Bright Spot presentation from Ariana Michas of Community Alliance with Family Farmers, which was presented at the 2013 Annual Leadership Conference, co-sponsored by the Center for Health Leadership (CHL) and the California Pacific Public Health Training Center (CALPACT) at UC Berkeley's School of Public Health.

Farm to Food Bank Utah Farm Bureau
This document discusses ways that farmers can donate food to help address food insecurity in Utah. It provides 7 specific suggestions for farmers: 1) Plant an extra row in their garden and donate the produce. 2) Donate extras from farm stands that won't sell. 3) Raise an animal for 4H/FFA and donate the meat. 4) Make a trade to feed a pig and donate some of the meat. 5) Donate leftover meat from hunting. 6) Start a community/classroom garden and donate the produce. 7) Hold a food drive at an agritourism business. The donations would help stock local food pantries that provide free groceries to those in need.

Nature\'s Market Presentation
In my entrepreneurship class we were required to start a business of our choice. The entire course was devoted to creating this business and all of the required key components. I chose to open a organic food store called "Nature\'s Market".
Love | Food | Waste
Keeping a close eye on how our society becomes more conscientious about food waste and taking a look at the various solutions startups work out to hack the flawed system gives us an early glimpse into how positive shifts happen in the world. Food waste is a fascinating topic, and only partly because the current numbers and existing processes are outrageous.
Until 2009, there was not much deep information to be found about the exact scale and nature of the food loss and waste in the world. Published that same year, Tristam Stuart’s book, Waste: Uncovering the Global Food Scandal provides a sobering trip to the reality of food. It also highlights an incredibly important fact: with small, common sense tweaks in habits and processes, the current grave situation can be turned on its head and solve the problem of the 842 million people living in hunger around the world too.
Accessibiliy: Scalling Up for Global Access to Quality Products
Broadly defined as the ease of access to something at the time it is needed, the concept of Accessibility—especially as it relates to healthy foods—is one that’s become increasingly important.
The movement to improve access to healthy foods dovetails with the rising demand for better-for-you products, creating a heightened consumer demand for
quality ingredients and sustainable sourcing.
Here we view the data on the food insecurity and an overview of the supply chain perspective on generating greater access to healthier products - how to bridge the gap between high demand and access.
Mighty Bar Business Deck Final
The document is a report submitted by The Daily Value consulting team to Lewis Goldstein, Vice President of Brand Marketing at Organic Prairie. The report provides research and recommendations for promoting and distributing Organic Prairie's new product, the Mighty Bar, a beef jerky snack bar. The report examines key findings around price, distribution, and promotion strategies. It also details the primary and secondary research conducted, including a survey of university students and a product taste test. The recommendations are aimed at competitively positioning the Mighty Bar in the marketplace to increase sales and market share among the target demographic of millennials aged 18-30.
Organic marketing
The document summarizes changes in organic food marketing over time. Traditionally, organic producers sold directly to consumers or through small health stores and co-ops, but since the National Organic Program, marketing has expanded. Most organic food is now sold through large supermarkets, and organic sales have increased 20% annually. Exports are also a growing market, particularly to Canada. The typical organic consumer is hard to define but purchases organic occasionally, and education and income influence purchasing more than other factors. Major organic crops include fruits/vegetables, milk, and cereal products.
Food: a System in Crisis
This document discusses the issues with the current global food system. It describes how fast food and factory farming have transformed farming practices and the food system. It also discusses the unintended consequences of this system, including food contamination issues. Additionally, it examines the role of government subsidies in influencing the types of crops grown and the affordability of different foods.
Organic foods, mercado del campo a la boca 1
This document analyzes trends in the U.S. organic foods market from 1997 to 2008. It finds that organic food sales grew rapidly during this period, reaching $21.1 billion in 2008, due to a larger number and variety of consumers and retailers selling organic products. However, the supply of organic foods from farms struggled to keep up with this demand growth, occasionally leading to shortages. While organic farmland doubled from 1997 to 2005, growth was volatile and not swift enough to consistently meet rising retail needs. This lag between farm supply and retail demand was exacerbated by the time required under organic standards for land to be certified organic.

Whole Foods Market dominates the organic and natural foods sector in the U.S. with a 33.6% market share in 2010. However, increased competition from traditional grocers adding more organic options and lower prices poses a threat. While Whole Foods was the first large organic retailer, competitors are now copying its model, with stores like Walmart increasing healthy and organic offerings. This document analyzes Whole Foods' competitive position and challenges in the changing retail food industry.

Porter Five Forces Analysis of Whole Foods Market
This document analyzes Whole Foods Market using Porter's Five Forces framework. It finds that the biggest threats to Whole Foods are product substitution, supplier power, and competitive rivalry from other grocery stores expanding their organic/natural product offerings. Buyer power is also emerging as a threat as consumers choose lower-priced alternatives. Supplier power is also high as the natural/organic supplier industry consolidates, leaving Whole Foods with fewer supplier options and higher wholesale prices.
Whole foods presentation
Whole Foods Market is a $9 billion industry leader in the grocery sector, operating 301 stores in North America and the UK. While some claim the recession and increased competition threaten Whole Foods, the document argues that Whole Foods remains financially healthy compared to competitors and continues growing sales. The "Whole Experience" of attractive stores, knowledgeable staff, and high-quality prepared foods and local suppliers keeps customers loyal and differentiates Whole Foods, so it should continue its successful strategy rather than pursue drastic changes.
Social super market
The social supermarket sells eco-friendly, recycled, and imperfect produce at low prices. This helps address food waste and malnutrition issues. An estimated one-third of global food production and 40% of India's food is lost or wasted each year. The social supermarket collects unsold food from suppliers and supermarkets and sells it at low prices to low-income customers. This improves access to affordable, nutritious food for vulnerable communities while reducing waste.

Its target market is middle-aged to elderly men with large, female dogs who want an immaculate lawn.
WarmEars
The document describes a headband product with pockets on the sides to hold hand warmers. The pockets are closed so the hand warmers stay in place but are difficult for users to remove on their own. The headband is designed to keep the head and ears warm for outdoor winter activities like skiing, hunting, or shoveling by trapping heat from the hand warmers. Testing showed the hand warmers stay securely in place during activities like ski crashes or running.

GrowGrub
- 1. GrowGrub Recycling unused healthy produce, benefiting local communities.
- 2. Problem The problem we have observed in our community is the amount of edible food being wasted throughout the process of the food industry and market. Proceeding with this observation, we researched this impact we found locally on a national level. Based on estimates from USDA’s Economic Research Service in 2010, 31 percent of food is lost at the retail and consumer levels, which is approximately 133 billion pounds and $161 billion worth of food. The food is being thrown away because they are not “aesthetically pleasing” to the marketing teams at retail stores selling the food. Our business idea is to take the produce being wasted because of slight imperfections and give them a new home with low-income families. For example, a cucumber that has grown at an angle or a potato that is “too small to eat” are perfect candidates for our business idea. Furthermore, all of that wasted food could feed many of the 46.5 million Americans, (one in seven Americans), who use food banks. Solution Our idea is based on helping our local agricultural economy by transporting the produce directly from the local farms and selling their otherwise wasted food at lower costs to the low-income population of our region. The business will be a non-profit organization and will donate the proceeds to local food banks. It will also spread
- 3. awareness about how much food is being wasted; about one-third of the food grown is not consumed or used in a beneficial way according to a recent study by the Natural Resources Defense Council.
- 4. Market Our business falls under the market for fresh produce. Our target customer includes large families that can not afford to buy produce, benefiting them so they can keep up with a balanced diet for themselves. Buying from our business, consumers would be able to purchase produce with the same nutritional value compared to produce from regular retail stores at lower costs- helping our local agricultural economy. Because of the lower prices and proceedings go to help families in need, this sets us apart from other competitors and makes our business truly unique.
- 5. Prototype
