Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Exploring the Architecture of Place in America's Public and Farmers Markets draws attention to the simple but elusive architectural space of public and farmers markets. It discusses three seminal types of markets--heritage building, open-air pavilion, and pop-up canopy-- demonstrating the characteristics of each type using a mixture of narrative and illustration. The narrative combines historically informed architectural observation with interview material drawn from conversations the author has had over the years with market managers, vendors, and shoppers. The illustrations include an appealing variety of photos, diagrams, and drawings that enabled the author to view each market through an architectural lens based on eight scales of measure--the hand, the container, the person, the stall, a grouping of stalls, the street, the block, and the market's situation within the neighborhood. Some of the architectural elements discussed include walls that layer, openings that frame, roofs that encompass, and niches that embrace. While each of the case studies illustrates shared characteristics of one of the architectural typologies, each farmers market is distinct in the specific ways it reflects the local culture and environment. Ultimately, in viewing markets through these three types and eight scales of measure we are able to better appreciate how farmers markets foster social interaction and community engagement. The book concludes with a broad look at the way of life and living that public and farmers markets have spawned, while looking ahead to what the author sees as an emerging new typology - the mobile market - which takes the bounty of local farmers to neighborhoods underserved with fresh healthy food, and otherwise known as food deserts. Market vendors speak enthusiastically about the qualitative benefits that farming life allows, and the greater good their individual choice provides for the general public and region. Likewise, a spectrum of governmental, commerce and community leaders champion the economic development farmers markets catalyze through allied business development and civic commitment.

Download or read book The Role of Farmers' Markets in Community and Economic Development as Supported by Municipal Zoning Codes written by and published by . This book was released on 2006 with total page 74 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There has been an increase of public interest and demand for farmers' markets across the nation over the past ten years. As a result, two questions to arise. First, what is the power of a farmers' market to influence community and economic development within a municipality? Second, are municipal zoning codes maximizing the potential of farmers' markets by dictating placement that supports the role of markets as economic and community development agents? This thesis will take an in-depth look at the role farmers' markets are currently playing in American cities and analyze how municipal codes allow markets to act as agents of change. To do this, the farmers' markets and policies in Minneapolis, Minnesota will be analyzed as a case study. In addition, the market policies and regulations for five best city practices from around the nation will be conducted concurrently to provide perspective.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Farmers markets are an important access point for fresh, nutritious foods. Regrettably, markets are especially vulnerable to failure in low-income areas where there is often limited access to healthy food options (Fisher, 1999; Markowitz, 2010; PPS 2003; Winne, 2008). To date, little is known about farmersf perspectives and experiences regarding participation in these markets or how these markets address challenges during their early years of establishment. The objective of this study is to explore three complementary research questions. First, what motivates farmers to participate in farmers markets in low-income, urban areas? Second, what is the process of development for small, early-stage farmers markets in these communities? Third, what are farmersf attitudes regarding Electronic Benefits Transfer (EBT) programs in place at these farmers markets? A qualitative, case study approach was used. This study is grounded in an ethnographic approach and relies upon the methodology of participant observation. Using purposeful sampling (Maxwell, 2012; Patton, 2002), three cities were selected as low-income, urban areas. Within each city, two early-stage farmers markets were identified for a total of six case study markets. Market managers and 32 farmers from the selected markets were interviewed between October 2010 and April 2012. Interviews lasted between 45 and 150 minutes and were conducted using structured, open-ended interview guides (IRB# 10-495). Interviews were audio recorded and transcribed verbatim. A coding system was developed to identify recurring themes using QSR NVivo 9. Data were summarized by theme into displays for systematic analysis. Regarding the first research question, results indicate that farmersf decisions to participate in farmers markets located in low-income, urban areas differ based on their individual circumstances and motivations. What emerged, however, were patterns in how different types of farmers weigh their economic and lifestyle goals. Different types of farmers were identified based on their motivations for participating in these markets as their primary motivations influence the choices and commitments they make regarding market participation. Farmers who relied on farmers markets for their livelihood exhibited high rates (80%) of drop-out. Farmers with primarily lifestyle motivations, on the contrary, were more likely to sustain their participation in farmers markets in low-income, urban areas. Next, this research explored farmers market development. Results suggest that the development of small, early-stage farmers markets in low-income, urban areas is distinct from that presented in the literature. These markets require complex forms of management to achieve a balanced and diverse product mix. Additionally, the development process requires a flexible and emergent approach that allows marketsf policies to evolve in a way that supports a committed vendor mix. Three main themes emerged regarding farmers' attitudes on EBT programs. First, farmers have a positive attitude regarding EBT. Second, farmers have a positive attitude about EBT programs in farmers markets because they are simple and convenient. Finally, farmers believe that when a farmers market accepts food assistance benefits it attracts new customers therefore expanding the market's customer base. Overall, this body of work provides insights into farmersf perspectives and market development that can be considered by food system scholars, state and federal policymakers, and market organizers interested in farmers markets in low-income, urban areas.

Download or read book Challenges to Re-embedding Food Systems written by Mary K. Murray and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A number of researchers view farmers' markets as an appropriate vehicle for re-embedding food markets into communities (O'Hara & Stagl, 2001, Feenstra, 2002, Lyson, 2005). Amidst astounding growth in the number of farmers' markets in the United States in recent decades, many markets struggle and fail. Recent research suggests that farmers' markets, especially new markets, have high failure rates. This thesis seeks to understand farmers' market failure by examining a well-established market in distress. Because the market had not yet reached the point of failure and efforts at revitalization were underway, it provided a unique research setting. Based on multiple sources of data, including ethnographic interviews, participant observation, and an analysis of the market's current and historical records, this research presents a holistic accounting of the specific interactions and processes that have taken place with this farmers' market since its early days. The market experienced a decline in both customer and vendor numbers, as well as in its overall scale. A number of factors contributed to the market's problems, including management issues, difficulty recruiting and aligning vendors and customers, and community level influences such as a declining downtown business sector and inadequate city support for the market. These factors created a vulnerable market, and environmental issues in 2005 moved it into crisis. The market's efforts at revitalization are documented, revealing the challenges smaller markets with few resources face. Data collection was essential in both understanding and monitoring this market. Community embeddedness emerged as crucial to sustaining and reviving this farmers' market, which lacked it for a variety of reasons relating to regional, community-level, and internal issues. Recommendations relate to finding a consistent site manager from the community who can work on educating the community and building collaborations with private and public organizations.

Book excerpt: Look at any list of America's top foodie cities and you probably won't find Boise, Idaho or Sitka, Alaska. Yet they are the new face of the food movement. Healthy, sustainable fare is changing communities across this country, revitalizing towns that have been ravaged by disappearing industries and decades of inequity. What sparked this revolution? To find out, Mark Winne traveled to seven cities not usually considered revolutionary. He broke bread with brew masters and city council members, farmers and philanthropists, toured start-up incubators and homeless shelters. What he discovered was remarkable, even inspiring. In Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, once a company steel town, investment in the arts has created a robust new market for local restaurateurs. In Alexandria, Louisiana, "one-stop shopping" food banks help clients apply for health insurance along with SNAP benefits. In Jacksonville, Florida, aeroponics are bringing fresh produce to a food desert. Over the course of his travels, Winne experienced the power of individuals to transform food and the power of food to transform communities. The cities of Food Town, USA remind us that innovation is ripening all across the country, especially in the most unlikely places.

Book excerpt: Following decades of neglect and decline, many US cities have undergone a dramatic renaissance. From New York to Nashville and Pittsburgh to Portland governments have implemented innovative redevelopment strategies to adapt to a globally integrated, post-industrial economy and cope with declining industries, tax bases, and populations. However, despite the prominence of new amenities in revitalized neighborhoods, spectacular architectural icons, and pedestrian friendly entertainment districts, the urban comeback has been highly uneven. Even thriving cities are defined by a bifurcated population of creative class professionals and a low-wage, low-skilled workforce. Many are home to diverse and thriving immigrant communities, but also contain economically and socially segregated neighborhoods. They have transformed high-profile central city brownfields, but many disadvantaged neighborhoods continue to grapple with abandoned and environmentally contaminated sites. As urban cores boom, inner-ring suburban areas increasingly face mounting problems, while other shrinking cities continue to wrestle with long-term decline. The Great Recession brought additional challenges to planning and development professionals and community organizations alike as they work to maintain successes and respond to new problems. It is crucial that students of urban revitalization recognize these challenges, their impacts on different populations, and the implications for crafting effective and equitable revitalization policy. Urban Revitalization: Remaking Cities in a Changing World will be a guide in this learning process. This textbook will be the first to comprehensively and critically synthesize the successful approaches and pressing challenges involved in urban revitalization. The book is divided into five sections. In the introductory section, we set the stage by providing a conceptual framework to understand urban revitalization that links a political economy perspective with an appreciation of socio-cultural factors in explaining urban change. Stemming from this, we will explain the significance of revitalization and present a summary of the key debates, issues and conflicts surrounding revitalization efforts. Section II will examine the historical causes for decline in central city and inner-ring suburban areas and shrinking cities and, building from the conceptual framework, discuss theory useful to explain the factors that shape contemporary revitalization initiatives and outcomes. Section III will introduce students to the analytical techniques and key data sources for urban revitalization planning. Section IV will provide an in-depth, criticaldiscussion of contemporary urban revitalization policies, strategies, and projects. This section will offer a rich set of case studies that contextualize key themes and strategic areas across a range of contexts including the urban core, central city neighborhoods, suburban areas, and shrinking cities. Lastly, Section V concludes by reflecting on the current state of urban revitalization planning and the emerging challenges the field must face in the future. Urban Revitalization will integrate academic and policy research with professional knowledge and techniques. Its key strength will be the combination of a critical examination of best practices and innovative approaches with an overview of the methods used to understand local situations and urban revitalization processes. A unique feature will be chapter-specific case studies of contemporary urban revitalization projects and questions geared toward generatingclassroom discussion around key issues. The book will be written in an accessible style and thoughtfully organized to provide graduate and upper-level undergraduate students with a comprehensive resource that will also serve as a reference guide for professionals

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: People have always grown food in urban spaces—on windowsills and sidewalks, and in backyards and neighborhood parks—but today, urban farmers are leading an environmental and social movement that transforms our national food system. To explore this agricultural renaissance, brothers David and Michael Hanson and urban farmer Edwin Marty document twelve successful urban farm programs, from an alternative school for girls in Detroit, to a backyard food swap in New Orleans, to a restaurant supply garden on a rooftop in Brooklyn. Each beautifully illustrated essay offers practical advice for budding farmers, such as composting and keeping livestock in the city, decontaminating toxic soil, even changing zoning laws.
