Gutscapes Gazette, a ‘mobile food bank’ gazette featuring the latest news, ideas, food recipes, crossword puzzles, books, and catalog of parts. For this month’s issue, the gazette contains current initiatives and future explorations on food insecurity and impacts in the Bronx, New York. Capitalism plays a major role in shaping our neighborhoods as well as food production and consumption. To address this issue; the government, non-profit organizations, farmers, supermarkets, restaurants and humans must all take on the responsibility.
The mobile food banks are used as meal distribution centers which contain urban rooftop gardens, mobile farmers’ markets, workshops, donation centers, communal kitchens and cultivation labs. There are 3 different stations and each one contains 3 different scenarios. For example, mobile station 1 is a cultivation lab, where artificial meat is being cultivated while the person sitting outside the lab waits for their order to be processed and picked up at the window. The person can then walk to mobile station 2, where a communal kitchen and fridge can be used and then walk to mobile station 3 to enjoy a meal with their community or drop off leftovers inside the donation center. To learn more and be a part of Gutscapes Gazette, pick up a copy at your local ‘Mobile Food Bank’ near you.
