Highlights
Food Connect is an example of a community supported agriculture scheme operating in Australia. It is a practical example of food democracy in action. This assignment is a critical review of Food Connect using a number of lenses including (a) Hassanein’s (2008) dimensions of meaningful participation and (b) Stevenson et.al.’s (2007) Warrior, Builder and Weaver approach.
In preparing for this assignment task, students should do two things first:
A brief overview of Food Connect; how it works and how it came about-How does this example impact on health? How and to what degree might it impact on the industrial food system?
Discuss how Food Connect addresses each of the four dimensions of meaningful participation (Hassanein 2008).12
Using the warrior, builder, weaver approach, critique and discuss how Food Connect contributes to food democracy?
Discuss how effective Food Connect might be in terms of citizen’s regaining control and long term food system change?
