A Community-Designed Intersectional Food Access Rights for Marginalized communities (IFARM) Hub
A Community-Designed Intersectional Food Access Rights for Marginalized Communities (IFARM) Hub: Using Community-Based Participatory Research methods, A Community-Designed Intersectional Food Access Rights for Marginalized Communities (IFARM) Hub will be co-designed with our project advisory board, composed of individuals who are or have experienced homelessness. Operating from needs and service gaps identified by our advisory board members, together we will design a strategic plan and layout for the farm that bridges gaps in access to health and social services for individuals experiencing homelessness. The IFARM Hub will be a hybrid farm- and civic-engagement resource hub located at Wasatch Community Gardens’ Green Phoenix Farm, which is a comprehensive job training program for women who are currently experiencing homelessness or have in the past. We aim to make the collaborative process and IFARM Hub a model for other communities to co-design food- and service-related interventions with community members experiencing homelessness.
