The program soul fire farm is a donation based program that supplies underprivileged communities with healthy food options. Locally grown food is delivered to communities allowing for certain people to be one step closer to food equity. Based on the provided information of the video there are approximately 3 times more likely people to die from poor diets then from violence related encounters. In addition, learning disabilities could be caused as a result of a poor diet. Thus, bad eating habits result in negative outcomes. Maintaining a tight community allows for food inequalities to become deceased. Equal food opportunities are not the only subject on the agenda, education plays an important role in making healthy decisions as well as informing children on what an average diet might entail.
The soul fire farm allows for volunteers to engage in change within a community allowing people to have access to better diets and making a difference to change a community. The program does a great job in uniting communities on difficult topics such as food inequity and racial injustices. Teaching younger generation’s good habits in sustainable farming creates productive young individuals with insight on how a community should have access to healthy options that are not fast food. Food inequity can be linked to racism within a sector. Based on the statistics provided by the organization approximately 1/10 hungry families are Black and Latino. This came to a surprise to me that food can be used as a tactic to create racial barriers within underprivileged communities. The program allows people to learn about injustices as well as act upon it to make change happen. Soul fire farm is surprisingly not funded by any major organization. From 2011 through 2017 the number of participants has increased significantly thus, the program is flourishing and teaching participants healthy food options, activism training, as well as farming training. All in all the organization is tackling multiple initiatives that prevent communities to be racially targeted and have sustainable healthy foods.
Health Care Is Not A Privileged Its A Right!
