James Bunch Food Desert Challenge
Calling on 100 Veterans (volunteers) to construct one 30 x 72 seasonal high tunnel
system in a food desert community (Waterloo, IA). We will invite the Guinness
Book of World Records to record this event.
Seasonal High Tunnel System
What is a Food Desert? There are many ways to define a food desert or to measure
access to food. ERS's Food Desert Locator is based on a definition developed by
USDA, Treasury, and HHS. Low-income census tracts with a substantial number or
share of residents with low levels of access to retail outlets selling healthy and
affordable foods are defined as food deserts.
Purpose of Seasonal High Tunnel System- High tunnels protect plants from severe
weather and allow farmers to extend their growing seasons — growing earlier into
the spring, later into the fall, and sometimes, year-round.
