Funding Amount: | $3,717,500 for three years |
Funding Sources: | Energy Efficiency and Conservation Block Grant from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) Stimulus Program |
Policy Outcome(s): | The City of St. Louis Sustainability Plan’s primary objective is to “use the City’s limited resources in efficient and innovative ways, and foster revitalization to promote a vibrant, attractive, prosperous and healthy community for present and future generations.” The plan uses a three-pronged definition of sustainability (with economic, social and environmental drivers) to develop seven goals, 50 objectives, 317 strategies, assessments and potential funding tools. A notable objective for food and agriculture under the topic of urban character, vitality and ecology is building a community-based urban agriculture industry through updated zoning codes, broadening the definition of urban farming to include unconventional practices, and developing policies that permit leasing of vacant lots for community gardens. The plan also seeks to engage and empower youth through the development of green jobs in the food sector and increased access to affordable, healthy food. To ensure equal access to amenities, opportunities, safety and health throughout the city, the plan proposes incentives to new markets to locate in areas “identified as food deserts,” tax incentives to provide fresh produce, and establishment of a shuttle bus that links residents with fresh, local, and healthy food. In the broader scope of health, well-being and safety, a key objective of the plan is increased access to healthy, local food and nutritional information. This objective includes strategies such as eliminating food deserts, connecting food growers with consumers, begin healthy food choice education at the elementary level, improve availability of farmers markets and local foods, provide education on nutrition, and deliver healthy food to those in need. |

Policy Outcome(s): | ReFresh Milwaukee is the city’s first sustainability plan. Although the plan covers a range of topics, it includes a section dedicated solely to food systems. The goals of this section include setting a city-wide food policy and action agenda, improving institutional capacity and leadership to better support the resiliency of food systems, and to increase both demand and access to local, sustainably grown, healthy and nutritious foods. Another section of the plan focuses on a food equity growing program called GR/OWN. The goal of this program in the plan is similar to that of the food systems section of the plan; however, the food equity section specifically targets low-income neighborhoods of Milwaukee. Strategies to meet this goal include increasing the use of city-owned foreclosed land and buildings for growing, processing, and distributing food to catalyze the local food value chain, increasing availability of healthy, locally grown foods at traditional neighborhood retail outlets, implementing educational initiatives for nutrition and training for small businesses and growers, and providing creative opportunities to generate income and commercialize urban agriculture. |
