#PuertoRicans are devising the #FoodSystem of tomorrow

by Ayurella Horn-Muller, September 3, 2025

Excerpt: "In the wake of #HurricaneMaria, many residents of #PuertoRico, especially those working to improve the archipelago’s local food system, began to think about hurricane preparedness differently. Because they weren’t able to rely on federal assistance, they decided to build their own prototypes of #resilience, which didn’t just set them up to be ready for the next storm, but also set them up to live better everyday lives. #Cooperatives, #gardens, and school-based agricultural programs emerged to fill the gaps left by the government. #Barter networks and local farmers markets have become increasingly popular. #MutualAid kitchens and community-led supermarkets have also expanded their work, ramping up donations, surplus food, and partnerships with nearby producers. These projects aren’t just temporary disaster responses. They are models of long-term resilience and food independence. They are living blueprints of what food sovereignty could look like in Puerto Rico — and elsewhere."

If you stop eating just before you think you're full, within a few minutes, you are full. It's a good way to lose weight or benefit the environment by reducing food production, processing, packaging, storage, transport, and waste.
