The Edible Community Food Principles
Several years ago our publisher, Steve Makela, led a small team through the Bingham Fellows program. The team developed the following principles which were shared with prominent members of our community.
These statements of belief represent the guiding force for our efforts at Edible magazine. Our readers are invited to join us in supporting these important principles.
The Edible Community Food Principles
Our magazine supports the creation of locally based food systems that promote healthy eating, improved accessibility and are environmentally responsible over the long term.
We believe in
Creating a community food system whereby all community members have equitable, affordable, and convenient access to nutritional food.
We believe in
Supporting food education efforts that address how food is produced, processed, labeled, distributed, marketed, prepared, consumed and disposed.
We believe in
Building greater nutritional knowledge and awareness throughout our community, acknowledging the important link between the food we eat and our health.
We believe our
Support of locally based small and mid-scale farms, as well as local food processing and distribution, will benefit our community.
We believe our
Food supply should be produced and processed in sustainable ways that prevent the exploitation of farmers, workers, natural resources and the cruel treatment of animals.
We believe in
Supporting community-based initiatives that address hunger
