Education

These films showcase the organization Local Matters efforts to educate about healthy eating habits. Oftentimes when discussing food deserts those living in them are viewed as abject and in need of our charity to get out of that situation. In reality though, a lot of the people living in these communities are a driving force behind these projects to create change. They deal with the problem on a daily basis and so are more aware of its effects. The next step is for people not living in the situation to learn and be educated about food deserts and the effect they have.
