Race, inequity, urban farming and the desire for healthier foods serve as the backdrop for this short and informative piece created by SPNN's team of summer interns. Motivated by their visit to Eureka Recycling in Northeast Minneapolis these four young women producers asked questions about the importance of food and food justice. During their visit to Eureka, they learned about the non-profit's community engagement and commitment to zero-waste and local foods. This prompted a discussion about local farmers and farmers markets and the people they see growing and selling these foods. Why did none of them look like them (three of the four young women who made the documentary were African-American)? After much exploring, they found some who did and the reasons why there aren't more.
