Allen Creek Greenway Conservancy: Dr. Jonathan Bulkley

Editor's Note:  This piece was written by Laura Matson.   Matson is a MS/MUP Candidate at the University of Michigan. 

In September 2012, students at the SNRE Pig Roast & Produce raised $1,694.83 to donate to the organization of their choice. Organizations were nominated and chosen by popular vote at this student-organized event. The Allen Creek Greenway Conservancy, a grassroots effort to build a bike and pedestrian path through the heart of Ann Arbor along the historic alignment of Allen Creek, was this year’s recipient.

The research explores “food deserts,” defined as poor access to safe, healthy and nutritious food. It also will examine urban agriculture, and how volunteer groups such as the Detroit Black Community Food Security Network and its D-Town Farm in Detroit are contributing to the public dialogue about food security and food justice.

Taylor leads research team examining 'food security' across Michigan

Researchers at the University of Michigan's School of Natural Resources and Environment are leading a five-year, $4 million study of disparities in access to healthy food across the state. The researchers will interview residents and study data in 18 small to mid-sized cities to better understand the factors affecting "food security," a socioeconomic term that defines easy access to safe and healthy food.
