Food-Related Publications
"Gardening for Good Nutrition: A Guide to Growing Your Own Healthy Food" (PDF) — Solid Ground's Lettuce Link program created this useful guide to help people grow their own organic food and take control of their health needs. It offers simple-to-follow gardening and food preparation advice, basic nutrition information on over two dozen crops, steps a beginning gardener can follow to set up container gardens or yard gardens, composting advice and a list of community resources. For a free printed copy of the full 32-page guide, please call 206.694.6761 (donations to Lettuce Link are happily accepted).
"Preparing Food Banks for Disasters" (PDF) — Solid Ground's 2006 Congressional Hunger Fellow Nick Maryns makes recommendations on how the Seattle Food Bank system can be better equipped to respond to major disasters. Seattle's 27 food banks are neighborhood organizations that 60,000 families rely on each year for basic nutrition and other services. Working through Solid Ground's Food Resources Program and in concert with regional planners and major responders, Nick developed and implemented a framework for Seattle Food Banks to use to: 1) Become better prepared as organizations to operate in the wake of a disaster and 2) Understand and develop their roles as community resources to provide a meaningful regional response to disasters.
"Closing the Grocery Gap" (PDF) — As part of Solid Ground's Anti-Racism Initiative, 2006 Congressional Hunger Fellow Jamillah Jordan's Grocery Gap Project investigated and uncovered difficulties people with low incomes face affording and accessing fresh produce and other healthy foods. Her report offers provocative suggestions grounded in research for addressing these issues and the positive experiences of other communities.
