In August, Farm2People attended the Food as Medicine Summer Germination Gathering 🌱 hosted by the Foodshed Small Farm Distro & Resource Hub and the Public Health Alliance of Southern California. Held at the beautiful Sage Hill Ranch Gardens in Escondido, the event convened stakeholders in public health, healthcare, and local agriculture to strategize towards a regional vision for Food is Medicine that prioritizes local farmers and regenerative growing practices. 🌾 What a pleasure to build more relationships with people who are motivated, intentional, and excited about the same things we are! 🍓

Thank you to Ellee Igoe from Foodshed, Alex Nikolai and Uju Nwizu from Public Health Alliance, Paul Towers from CAFF, CJ Andrews from Avocado Bliss for the delicious food, and Spencer Rudolph from Sage Hill Ranch Gardens for hosting us! Also thanks to Colin Kimzey from Foodshed for sharing his beautiful photos! 💚

We are so grateful to be learning and strategizing in community ✨

As we continue to trek through these hot and humid days, here’s sharing another month of F2P’s July impact! 🌾This past month, we delivered 13,187 lbs of produce, provided 80,388 portions of fruits and vegetables, and helped 10 farms! 🧑‍🌾🫜

Farmers have an abundance of produce right now, especially during this most plentiful summer season. With the many changes happening to longtime food assistance programs, Farm2People is incredibly proud to continue our values-driven work to get this bounty to LA residents in need. 🌱🍅🥑

Have you ever wondered about the difference between food insecurity and nutrition insecurity? Guided by Los Angeles Food Policy Council’s State of Good Food 2025 Report, we break down the difference between the terms.

Thinking about both of these concepts together aids hunger relief efforts by helping community members not just survive but thrive. Access to essential nutrients is crucial for overall health, and therefore Farm2People believes that nutritious food is a human right. We are so grateful to orgs like LAFPC and USC Dornsife for tracking and reporting on these important statistics; they enable hunger relief orgs such as us to have a better understanding of the extent and acuity of need in our city. We feel more motivated than ever to be doing this work, especially alongside our many friends also affecting greater food access in Los Angeles.

¿Se ha preguntado alguna vez cuál es la diferencia entre la inseguridad alimentaria y la inseguridad nutricional? Guiándonos por el informe de LAFPC State of Good Food 2025 Report, analizamos la diferencia entre los términos.

Pensar en estos dos conceptos de manera simultánea enfoca los esfuerzos para combatir el hambre con el objetivo de que los miembros de la comunidad no solo sobrevivan, sino que también prosperen. El acceso a los nutrientes esenciales es fundamental para la salud en general y, por eso, Farm2People cree que la alimentación nutritiva es un derecho humano. Estamos muy agradecidos con las organizaciones como LAFPC y USC Dornsife por recopilar y presentar estos datos estadísticos tan importantes; nos permiten a las organizaciones dedicadas a combatir el hambre, como la nuestra, comprender mejor el alcance y la urgencia de las necesidades en nuestra ciudad. Nos sentimos más motivados que nunca para realizar este trabajo, especialmente junto a nuestros numerosos compañeros que también están contribuyendo a mejorar el acceso a los alimentos en Los Ángeles.

Happy hump day! We hope you are staying cool and hydrated during this very warm week. ☀️ Mindfulness prompt: go for an evening walk once the sun is setting and the heat wanes and see if you can find any fruit growing in your neighborhood 🍅🥑🫐

These two photos were taken on a team member’s walk the other day - she found figs and passion fruits ripening! ✨
