Proposal for sustainable food system to benefit under nourished school childr...Susan Evans
GoodtoChina is a social enterprise that designs solutions for social innovation and sustainability that encourage a paradigm shift from non-sustainable behavior towards sustainable and healthy behavior. We tackle urban challenges by creating opportunities for change through the development of contemporary systems and environments and by providing tools and education to influence a change in people behavior: as a consequence of these interventions we help to propel new opportunities for social and environmental reform and economic revenue through changes in demand and supply to traditional systems.
Each strategy and design solution addresses the 3 pillars of sustainability, namely, social, environmental and economic.
Our umbrella goal is to create environments whereby people, business and environment are healthier and happier.
The impact from the systems we propose can be measured across both tangible and non-tangible elements that include: happiness, pollution, energy usage, renewable energy, food sources, renewable materials & construction.
We do this through a variety of products and services:
Sky Farms is one of our products and services
Sky farms: An innovative platform of experiential urban farming which encourages sustainable and healthy living, supports a paradigm shift from the conventional food model, which is rural, disconnected and monoculture to an alternative contemporary approach which is urban, connected and distributed.
Sky farms are designed to support social innovation and sustainability: they connect and engage communities, educate and enable sharing in collaborative socially desirable environments
Impact: positively impact the psychology and quality of life of urban residents by repurposing unused spaces and so encourage a re-distribution of the food chain, increase knowledge of how to grow local organic food, increase green space in the city that will help to reduce hot island city effect and reduce energy usage for cooling and heating,

This document provides instructions for starting a kitchen garden. It discusses selecting a garden site and preparing the land. Important factors to consider when choosing a site include sunlight, water access, slope, and soil quality. Site preparation involves clearing debris, testing the soil, and installing infrastructure like raised beds and paths.

Establishing guidelines is recommended to outline volunteer responsibilities and safety procedures. The document then explains seed types, germination testing, and different sowing methods like direct sowing in the soil or transplanting seedlings.
This document provides an overview of Gardens 4 Humanity (G4H), a community-driven food justice organization in Tompkins County, New York. G4H promotes health, economic empowerment, and community development through urban gardening, education, and connections to local farms. Current G4H projects include a neighborhood gardens program, teen urban farming programs, summer and after-school programs for children, community garden construction assistance, and distributing free vegetable starts. The overall goals of G4H are to provide access to healthy foods, support for economic development, and feelings of empowerment through gardening.
Urban agriculture provides several public health benefits. It promotes nutrition by increasing access to fresh fruits and vegetables. Gardening and farming also provide exercise, which can help reduce obesity, heart disease, and other health issues. Growing food in cities additionally improves mental health and creates safer, greener neighborhoods. Overall, urban agriculture contributes to community food security by buffering against economic problems and disruptions to the food supply.

We know we want to create products which our customers find to be valuable. Whether we label it as customer-centric or product-led depends on how long we've been doing product management. There are three challenges we face when doing this. The obvious challenge is figuring out what our users need; the non-obvious challenges are in creating a shared understanding of those needs and in sensing if what we're doing is meeting those needs.
In this webinar, we won't focus on the research methods for discovering user-needs. We will focus on synthesis of the needs we discover, communication and alignment tools, and how we operationalize addressing those needs.
Industry expert Scott Sehlhorst will:
• Introduce a taxonomy for user goals with real world examples
• Present the Onion Diagram, a tool for contextualizing task-level goals
• Illustrate how customer journey maps capture activity-level and task-level goals
• Demonstrate the best approach to selection and prioritization of user-goals to address
• Highlight the crucial benchmarks, observable changes, in ensuring fulfillment of customer needs
