Brief: ASI Farmer's Market is going along on the right track. These days, it has been trying to go beyond sinple food sales, creating a healthy student life, which should be ASI's true sake.
Findings:
- ASI Farmer's Market starts cooking demonstrations.
- ASI goal is "to create student life on campus and encaurage students to eat and live in better way," and to change how studnets look at things and what students do.
- Another statement about their goal is educating students about "the interconnectedness of the mind, body and stomach by incorporating nutrition workshops, cooking demonstrations, and free yoga sessions in addtion to the usual selection of local and organic fare."
- To make resources available on campus is important for students to get involved.
- This kind of market is the first one in California state University system.
- ASI's action has been bolstered by Aveeno and Organic Garden Magazine, and they have recieved $2,000.
- Instead of charging for a space, ASI is asking venders to price down their items in order for students to be able to purchase those items more.
- ASI can educate students about the velues of consuming local foods in many ways, not just by selling local foods on campus but by gathering people and getting their attraction.
- In order for us to live healthy and well, our earth and land has to be healthy. Their goals are all connecting the environmental matter eventually.
- How many students know about the farmers market on our campus was really innovative and famous? Why don't many students care about that? Is it because the farmers market is pretty much small-scaled?
- How many students who buy a bag of kettle popcorn concern about their healthy living and the value of choosing local foods?
