- 17. A Compost Story Alemany Farm is a San Francisco-based urban farming co-op that empowers San Francisco residents to grow their own food, and through that process, to become more engaged as citizens of their community. Alemany supports a variety of public programs that encourage ecological-economic development, a green job market, food security, environmental education, and a “share economy” community model. Project H partnered with Alemany farm to apply design thinking in an effort to expand their scope, increase public awareness, and improve the farm’s facilities through physical, structural, and object-based design interventions. In April 2009, the San Francisco team volunteered at the farm to better understand their processes, tools, and points of opportunity. Through this hands-on experience, they have begun to shape a framework for a multi-faceted project that will improve the organization and facilities through creative problem solving. The collaboration continued to include the development and prototyping of a composter to be used on site at Alemany Farm by employees and community members.

The Late Bloomers Guide: RESEARCH Office of the Mayor Gavin Newsom City & County of San Francisco Executive Directive 09-03 Healthy and Sustainable Food for San Francisco July 9, 2009 By virtue of the power and authority vested in me by Section 3.100 of the San Francisco Charter to provide administration and oversight of all departments and governmental units in the executive branch of the City and County of San Francisco, I do hereby issue this Executive Directive to become effective immediately: 1. The City declares its commitment to increasing the amount of healthy and sustainable food. Access to safe, nutritious, and culturally acceptable food is a basic human right and is essential to both human health and ecological sustainability. The City and County of San Francisco recognizes that hunger, food insecurity, and poor nutrition are pressing health ISSUES AND OPPORTUNITIES: issues that require immediate action.
