In Part 2 of our episode on
Other Avenues Grocery Cooperative,
the conversation starts with food, food systems, and how humans can
better steward the land and sea in our daily and collective
lives.
Celia talks about how, with co-ops,
money generally stays in the community. After a quick aside for
Jeff's lasagna story, we discuss food preservation and
distribution, the myth of food scarcity, and the idea of growing
food in urban centers. Then Celia tells us about some other new
co-ops opening in the Bay Area before sharing what it was like for
her and Other Avenues during thepandemic. She says that the
biggest challenge was the keeping up with and enforcing the
ever-changing rules.
