NARRATIVE

�is project aims to bring fresh and healthy foods to neighborhoods that would not normally have access to these types of products whilesimultaenously connecting to the existing culture of the area. At a larger scale, making healthy foods available to all communities will help in the fight against obesity and diabetes. Also, making sure everyone has enough food, regardless of where they live, is a problem the world faces since many people go hungry every day.

Specifically in the St. Claude Corridor, there is a disconnect between those who live lakeside of the avenue and those who live riverside. Signfiicant gentrification has taken place riverside, while the lakeside has remained largely untouched. Gentrification has attracted new people (many artists, others professionals) to the area causing conflict with the traditional blue collar community.

Additionally, there are no grocery stores in the area, which is largely cut off by lack of public transportation and high-speed roads. �e sites chosen for the first installation are on the same block, but on opposite sides of St. Claude Avenue. �e intent is to bring program to these adjacent vacant lots and make a connection between the opposing sides of the neighborhood. On the larger site, an urban farm, restaurant, healthy living initiative, and a donation center are temporarily constructed. Across the street is a mentorship program, where locals can learn about the arts (already prevalent in their community) and the culinary arts, with the potential of being employed on the adjacent site.

�e program seeks to teach community members skills and knowledge so that when the project does move on to another site (whether it be on St. Claude or elsewhere), the people can continue on with what they have learned. Educating people about healthy living limits unecessary healthcare bills, makes them more desirable employees, and increases life expectancy, while the mentorship program unites the disparate community and teaches people skills that they may be able to use in the workforce. Occupying vacant lots with activity and positive energy, can change how a neighborhood feels not only to itself, but to outsiders. �e questions that will probably come up while looking at this project are:

How can healthy living and food impact urban renewal?Can creating connections across a busy street help unite the opposite sides?

SITE ANALYSIS: OBESITY AND POVERTY

States by Percent of Population Living Under Poverty Line

Louisiana is the 5th most obese state in the country and the 2nd poorest.

32.6% of people in the New Orleans metro area are obese and another 37.2% are overweight.Calorie for calorie, junk foods not only cost less than fruits and vegetables, but junk food prices also are less likely to rise as a result of inflation. �e findings, reported in the current issue of the Journal of the American Dietetic Association, may help

explain why the highest rates of obesity are seen among people in lower-income groups. Energy-dense munchies cost on

average $1.76 per 1,000 calories, compared with $18.16 per 1,000 calories for low-energy but nutritious foods.

�e survey also showed that low-calorie foods were more likely to increase in price, surging 19.5%

over the two-year study period. High-calorie foods remained a relative bargain, dropping in price by 1.8%.
