CONTEXT:
In the 1970s and early 1980s, when large chain supermarkets were largely abandoning DC, the region was home to more than two dozen food cooperatives. With for-profit natural food grocery chains growing in number and popularity over the past couple decades, food co-ops have often struggled to compete.
TAKE ACTION:
Seek out and support local food cooperatives and small local food businesses that nurture an ethical, sustainable food system. Take the time to learn about and support endeavors that operate on a cooperative economic model |
