San Diego Mobile Farmers Market Uses Equitable Food Strategy to Combat Food Insecurity
By
Sheila Pell
Summary
Project New Village operates the People's Produce Mobile Farmers Market in San Diego, a truck that has been selling affordable fresh produce to local residents since 2022. The initiative uses an equitable food-oriented development strategy to reduce food insecurity and build long-term community resilience. The truck serves multiple neighborhoods, helps residents stretch their SNAP benefits, and connects people to community gardens and growers' networks. Resident Lucia Davis shares how she first came to the Mt. Hope community garden due to food insecurity and now shops at the produce truck weekly while participating in a neighborhood growers' network that donates food.
