Description

This project explored how oral histories can be used to make detailed, wordy food policy relevant to and digestible for everyone to encourage widespread advocacy. Each team member researched an area of food policy: food regulations, urban farming, food industry, and food access. Students then conducted and videotaped interviews with six people who were either Hartford residents or have spent the majority of their life in Hartford. Topics ranged from challenges of urban farming to building a career in fast food. Each story was associated with a food policy, such as soil testing requirements and food safety regulations, which directly impacted the narrative.
