The history agriculture in Los Angeles, as a catalyst for development, illustrates the strengths of the city's past as well as a blueprint for diversifying the current food system and thus improving community health.
Even with all the efforts for change from political, medical and public health communities, change ultimately begins at home. Consumers must begin to educate themselves and take action toward making healthier more just food decisions.
Healthy food practices also involve considering the conditions of food workers. Though food security is a human right we all should enjoy, the workers who grow, sell, cook and serve our food often suffer great injustices.
Children face enormous health risks because of the current system; therefore addressing child nutrition in government entities and in the home is critical to foster a new generation that will hopefully make conscious food choices.
Building a hyper local food system will ensure food security for everyone in the urban core, with local farmers once again supplying the city's demand with healthy produce.
