[BCFSN] What Does Local Food Need to Thrive? Portland's Answer Is the Redd

[Pamela Zevit]

I have been wearing my Salmon Nation t-shirt with pride for almost 20 years, would love to see this
type of food hub evolve here in BC.

 

"A redd, as any self-respecting fisherman knows, is a nest dug in gravel by a salmon on a river's
spawning grounds. The Redd, aptly named given its location on Salmon Street in Portland's Central
Eastside, is likewise a breeding ground for whole new ways of thinking about food - and for filling
a gap in supply chains that has bedevilled decades of efforts to build reliable and scalable markets
for sustainable agriculture."

The word Adamah is rooted in the Hebrew language (Adam - man, Adamah - earth) and is interpreted as
the "land from which man was made".  At its roots lies the recognition of our species intrinsic
connection to the earth and the inherent responsibility to protect and sustain it.
