Abstract
This research examines the complexities within the interdependent global issues of racism and food insecurity and argues for the need to build empirical systems of analysis around the reliability of food systems to advance targeted efforts of disaster planning and response. To explore the barriers to food security that BIPOC communities face in North Minneapolis, Minnesota, I take a local case study approach and direct my focus to community-based organizations that are addressing issues around food security.
Through the exploration of structural barriers that exist within the food systems serving marginalized communities, this project will exemplify a localized case study of a global dynamic and determine the extent that community development approaches to food security are designed to respond effectively, efficiently, and sustainably to crises. Furthermore, this project will seek to understand the ways community-based organizations can provide enhanced community support around the reliability of food systems.
