Detroit's Circular Food System
Why it matters
Local circular economies are a better way to feed people, support the community, and protect the environment.
Urban Agriculture
hyper local, healthy food supply, that’s appropriate & accessible to the community

Local Grocery Stores
independent, locally accessible, affordable foods the community wants
A 2017 study by the Detroit Food Policy Council showed that around 30,000 Detroiters do not have access to a full-line grocery store.
Upcycling
using food to its fullest to feed more people & keep nutritious food out of landfills
Detroit generates 114k tons of food waste each year, the majority of which is landfilled.
Compost
keeping resources in the city & recycling nutrients back into the soil to grow more food
