Abstract/Contents

Abstract: This project provides an analysis of how neighborhood layout and construction directly shape residents’ grocery shopping habits, their diets, and lifestyles. It centers the experiences and concerns that East Palo Alto community members face when shopping for food and present an extensive list of relevant resources and information. The bilingual components of the project’s book form will ensure that stakeholders who hold pivotal positions in promulgating auspicious societal change realize the necessity to act upon these pressing issues. To encompass the topics of transportation, produce quality, affordability, and impacts of the pandemic I ground this work with a set of questions: 1) What decision-making processes do low-income immigrants in East Palo Alto engage in when deciding where to shop for food? 2) What non-store resources do immigrant communities trust for food access? 3) What changes would improve shopping and eating habits? 4) What community and land-based practices are used to access food?
