INTENT
The intent of this Imperative is to integrate opportunities for connecting the community to locally grown fresh food.
REQUIREMENTS
All projects must dedicate a portion of their total Project Boundary to growing food, or they must dedicate a smaller portion of their total Project Boundary to growing food and must also directly provide weekly community access to healthy local food that addresses a community need, through farmers markets, Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) programs, or other local food producers.
Table 2-1 Urban Agriculture Percentage Requirements
Scale Jumping can be used as the means to expand the availability of healthy, local food (through agriculture or other means) to a specific population or the community in general via an off-site location such as a food bank, school, or other community resource.
Resilience Strategy
All projects (except residential projects) must provide access to food for 75% of full-time equivalent (FTE) occupants for a minimum of three days during an emergency.
Residential projects must demonstrate the capacity to store at least a two-week supply of food.
