Description
This report, created by students in GEOG-G 218 Edible Education at Indiana University, explores the role of the Linton Farmers Market in enhancing food access and community resilience in Greene County, Indiana. Through GIS mapping, vendor interviews, and analysis of food assistance programs, the report identifies barriers to market participation and proposes strategies to improve access for underserved populations. Key recommendations include promoting the Market Bucks program, improving vendor consistency, enhancing community outreach, and advocating for local food policies. The report also includes a vendor toolkit and highlights the market’s social, economic, and health impacts.
This project was completed by students in GEOG-G 218 Edible Education for the Linton Farmers Market as part of the 2019–20 Indiana University Sustaining Hoosier Communities initiative. The report reflects the students’ original work and recommendations and does not represent the views of IUSHC, CRE, Indiana University, or the Linton Farmers Market.
