Author Visits Valley for Book on Food Solutions – The Vindicator


A new book about cities that are creating new
food-distribution systems includes a chapter on the Youngstown-Warren area.

“Food Town USA: Seven Unlikely Cities that are Changing the
Way We Eat” looks at communities that are being forced to revitalize the way
they raise and feed their inner-city populace.

It was written by Mark Winne, a food-system expert, who
visited Youngstown and Warren plus six other cities: Bethlehem, Pa.; Sitka,
Alaska; Alexandria, La.; Boise, Idaho; Jacksonville, Fla.; and Portland, Maine.

Each community faces unique challenges – ranging from
poverty to opioid abuse to climate change to inaccessibility by road – and is
finding ways to overcome them.
