Food

Cooperation Humboldt's food team is an active and energetic group focusing  on our food systems. We believe that access to healthy food is a basic human right, and should be provided to everyone regardless of wealth or income level. We are currently assessing the local food landscape, and testing several pilot programs (some in partnership with HSU students), including establishing free food pantries, converting front lawns into community gardens, and installing vertical gardens in public spaces. Ultimately, we envision transforming our public spaces into food producing landscapes for the benefit of all residents.
