Two urban Texas farms are implementing creative business and food distribution solutions as the coronavirus pandemic has strained the food system and spotlighted the urgent need for positive changes at all levels of the food industry.
The farms are recipients of the American Heart Association s second annual Foodscape Innovation Awards.
Twenty-six organizations submitted applications showcasing health promoting innovations, which were then reviewed by a panel of judges with expertise in nutrition, science, retail, manufacturing and public health. The panel chose Moonflower Farms as the recipient of the Excellence award. The public voted for Restorative Farms as the Consumer Choice awardee among three finalists selected by judges.
