Food and Health in Jupiter
Healthier Jupiter is working to bring community members, business owners, managers, nonprofit leaders, farmers, government staff, and civic groups together, to reimagine what a healthier, sustainable and equitable food system could look like. And most importantly act on it!
Community members have been leading several projects to help us act:
Monthly Food Health Meetings - paused to encourage stronger engagement
FSNE 21 Day Racial Equity Challenge. Follow Urban Health Partnerships as they are leading this in our area.
What even is a food system? “A food system encompasses all the stages of keeping us fed: growing, harvesting, packing, processing, transforming, marketing, consuming and disposing of food,” (Committee on World Food Security, 2016). We have been working to develop our own definition of the food system in Jupiter! See what the community has said by clicking through the slides below.
