The South Shore Food Hub : a jump start for the northwest Indiana local food system

This creative project proposes an intervention, specifically a food hub, which will strengthen the local food system in Northwest Indiana. The design of the proposed intervention draws from theorists and practitioners influential to the fields of landscape architecture and planning. The nature of the intervention is influenced by a review of relevant research on local food systems, food systems data and statistics, the history of the region, and local food system stakeholder input.
