Sophia Alhadeff, Geography

A team of Macalester students conducted a site suitability analysis to decide a viable plot of land to develop into an urban farm. This study was conducted in partnership with an elementary school in Minneapolis, Minnesota to combat food insecurity. The location chosen was based on a suitability analysis that included socioeconomic and racial demographic information, as well as the number of households using SNAP benefits.
