ABOUT KIM FOX, TUCSON’S LOCAL FOOD AMBASSADOR, AND HER FOOD TREK 2010:

Kim Fox, a Tucson micro-urban farmer and food activist dedicated to
community education and local food production, is embarking on a new
adventure! Up until now, Kim has been busy designing urban sites for
food production and distribution. Her community education programs
focus on local food production, soil science, food security and
health. Now that summer is here, she’s hitting the road with her bike,
and an open plate and mind!

Kim is an observer of and participant in local and international food
ways. She has traveled to 25 countries working on small farms and
urban gardens, visiting farmers’ markets, participating in food
culture and customs, and observing local food production and
distribution methods.  Beginning in June 2010, Kim will travel by
bicycle across Europe engaging with people who manage urban and rural
farms, gardens, farmers’ markets, food banks, seed banks, and public
and private agencies in order to exchange perspectives and information
on local sustainable agriculture. In particular, Kim will study and
report on seed saving, climate change consequences, GMO issues,
sustainable farming and urban gardening techniques, and seek to
collect recipes straight from the kitchen. Her community in Tucson and
beyond can learn with her, via internet updates on her blog, at
www.theoriginalhoe.blogspot.com or on Facebook “Kim Fox Food Trek
2010.” Your donations or in-kind support will ensure that fresh and
enriching ideas, beyond the American perspective, will benefit our
community’s local-sustainable food system.
