The film delves into the sordid labor practices of an industry that supplies the United States, Europe and Asia with seafood, but it does so by focusing on the compelling work of Bangkok-based Patima Tungpuchayakul, an abolitionist who has devoted her life to helping \"lost\" men return home.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She works with a former slave, Tun Lin, who was kidnapped when he was 14 and forced to fish without pay for 11 years.

But the film has an emotional power that's missing from the news reports, captured in the lines etched on the men's faces, in their tears, in the remote tropical locations where the film takes place, and in the strength of the protagonist, Tungpuchayakul.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Shannon took time out of her busy screening schedule for the film (\u003ca href=\"https://www.vulcanproductions.com/ghostfleet/thefilm\">which is currently playing in selected theatres in the U.S.\u003c/a>) to talk about the project.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://youtu.be/uws9Pk33gqs\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>How did the film come about?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I've been on this story for seven years. I started with another reporter, Becky Palstrom, and together we spent six months looking into slavery in the Thai fishing industry. We were investigating how it was that tens or hundreds of thousands of men have crossed borders, gone into policed ports, gone out to sea, and disappeared, and nobody was really talking about it. The story took us across Southeast Asia. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While we were doing this reporting, it also became obvious that the underbelly of the fishing industry was a crazy, fascinating world. Each one of the men we interviewed could have had a Hollywood film scripted about him. These men left home with the best of intentions to support their family; they were convinced to go into Thailand, or they just walked into a bar and were drugged and woke up on board. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They're living in the space of an 18-wheeler, saving each others' lives, keeping each other sane and enduring incredible hardship. Some of them had never seen the ocean before, or swam, and suddenly they're on a boat for many years.

The film delves into the sordid labor practices of an industry that supplies the United States, Europe and Asia with seafood, but it does so by focusing on the compelling work of Bangkok-based Patima Tungpuchayakul, an abolitionist who has devoted her life to helping \"lost\" men return home.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She works with a former slave, Tun Lin, who was kidnapped when he was 14 and forced to fish without pay for 11 years.

I started with another reporter, Becky Palstrom, and together we spent six months looking into slavery in the Thai fishing industry. We were investigating how it was that tens or hundreds of thousands of men have crossed borders, gone into policed ports, gone out to sea, and disappeared, and nobody was really talking about it. The story took us across Southeast Asia. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While we were doing this reporting, it also became obvious that the underbelly of the fishing industry was a crazy, fascinating world. Each one of the men we interviewed could have had a Hollywood film scripted about him. These men left home with the best of intentions to support their family; they were convinced to go into Thailand, or they just walked into a bar and were drugged and woke up on board. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They're living in the space of an 18-wheeler, saving each others' lives, keeping each other sane and enduring incredible hardship. Some of them had never seen the ocean before, or swam, and suddenly they're on a boat for many years. If they do see land, they'll grab something that floats, jump into the water to escape, land on an island, and then sleep in trees to avoid snakes. Or they'll marry into an indigenous community, but their actual family thinks they're dead. And they have no hope of getting home. Doing the radio doc, it became clear to me it needed to be a film.

She mentioned the uncomfortable dichotomy that anyone who’s dined out in the Bay Area has observed.

Mah agreed, talking about how people need to shift in how they see the food movement, and go from making passive food choices (whatever’s cheapest at the store) to active ones (did that apple come from a farm in California or Mexico? Do the farmers take advantage of their workers?) The focus needs to be on “good food meets food justice,” Mah said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The panel discussed the problems that Trump’s focus on illegal immigration can cause restaurants. Carmona-Cruz discussed how La Raza leads trainings for restaurants about what to do if ICE comes knocking at their door. Undocumented restaurant workers are often taken advantage of, he said, made to work for much less than minimum wage. “We have to realize that good food equals good practices,” he said. “We like to think about it in an intersectional way.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_116290\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-116290\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2017/03/DSC_2243.jpg\" alt=\"Panelist Edwin Carmona-Cruz, from La Raza Centro Legal.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1449\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/03/DSC_2243.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/03/DSC_2243-160x121.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/03/DSC_2243-800x604.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/03/DSC_2243-768x580.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/03/DSC_2243-1020x770.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/03/DSC_2243-1180x891.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/03/DSC_2243-960x725.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/03/DSC_2243-240x181.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/03/DSC_2243-375x283.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/03/DSC_2243-520x392.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Panelist Edwin Carmona-Cruz, from La Raza Centro Legal. \u003ccite>(Shelby Pope)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Intersectionality is key, Moore said.

But to grow culturally relevant produce like collard greens and mustard greens, the community is starting to come around and see that, like with me, food is grown, it doesn’t just show up at the grocery store miraculously.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_115763\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-115763\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2017/03/KellyCarlisle-_MG_1520-e1458614584851.jpg\" alt=\"Acta Non Verba founder and executive director Kelly Carlisle.\" width=\"800\" height=\"800\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/03/KellyCarlisle-_MG_1520-e1458614584851.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/03/KellyCarlisle-_MG_1520-e1458614584851-160x160.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/03/KellyCarlisle-_MG_1520-e1458614584851-768x768.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/03/KellyCarlisle-_MG_1520-e1458614584851-240x240.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/03/KellyCarlisle-_MG_1520-e1458614584851-375x375.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/03/KellyCarlisle-_MG_1520-e1458614584851-520x520.jpg 520w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/03/KellyCarlisle-_MG_1520-e1458614584851-32x32.jpg 32w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/03/KellyCarlisle-_MG_1520-e1458614584851-50x50.jpg 50w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/03/KellyCarlisle-_MG_1520-e1458614584851-64x64.jpg 64w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/03/KellyCarlisle-_MG_1520-e1458614584851-96x96.jpg 96w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/03/KellyCarlisle-_MG_1520-e1458614584851-128x128.jpg 128w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/03/KellyCarlisle-_MG_1520-e1458614584851-150x150.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Acta Non Verba founder and executive director Kelly Carlisle. \u003ccite>(Acta Non Verba)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>To help share her message, Carlisle involves parents, both as volunteers and paid positions so the children’s healthy eating education is reinforced at home.

Stewart hopes to continue to grow People’s Grocery’s presence on the local and national stage, and to make sure that People’s continues to be “a place where people talk about food, where we grow food, cook food, talk about food policy, and empower people to make money with food-based enterprises,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A key part of her new agenda is to continue to revitalize the land around Oakland’s California Hotel, which re-opened as an apartment building for low-income residents in 2014. People’s has a community garden in the rear of the building, and Stewart hopes to add a labyrinth and medicinal herbs. Stewart places great importance in the act of gardening: “When you teach someone to grow a vegetable, you teach them to grow and change in life, and teach them to transform themselves as well as the land.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The California Hotel will also be the site of People’s Grocery’s next event, this weekend’s Black History Month celebration.

Just before the New Year, Oakland investor \u003ca href=\"http://www.berkeleyside.com/2013/02/01/two-big-new-restaurants-land-in-jack-london-square/\" target=\"_blank\">Tom Henderson\u003c/a> announced his plans to open a new store in the Jack London Gateway shopping center.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Oakland’s king of EB-5 investments, Henderson has already funneled millions into Oakland projects considered too high-risk to garner bank financing. His San Francisco Regional Center raises funds via a federal “Immigrant Investor” program, which grants green cards to foreigners who contribute at least $500,000 to a project that creates a minimum of ten jobs. Henderson also owns the Tribune Tower and the restaurant \u003ca href=\"http://www.berkeleyside.com/tag/tribune-tavern/\" target=\"_blank\">Tribune Tavern\u003c/a> in Uptown.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The new store, to be located in a long-vacant retail space near the corner of Market and 7th streets, will reportedly require initial start-up costs of $25 million. Henderson vows his 20,000-square-foot market will make “Safeway look like 7-Eleven.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The neighborhood, to be sure, is hungry for it. Residents of this underserved area, many with lower incomes and no cars, must schlepp heavy grocery bags home from Emeryville, Alameda, Berkeley, and far-flung Oakland neighborhoods. This annoyance robs locals of money as well as time: according to one market analysis, the neighborhood leaks $43 million a year in grocery purchases alone. Reclaiming some of this money, activists say, could help mend a local economy still scarred from disruptive city-planning missteps and discriminatory lending practices of past decades.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tom Henderson’s plans have been met with cautious optimism. Many city officials, including mayor Libby Schaff, applaud the investor’s ability to bring new money into Oakland. But some longtime merchants and community activists in the neighborhood doubt the Piedmont native’s ability to succeed in a difficult market.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>People’s Community Market: Raising more funds for a grocery store\u003c/h3>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_94126\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 360px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2015/03/12840-1377647833-360x313.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2015/03/12840-1377647833-360x313.jpg\" alt=\"Brahm Ahmadi.

The founder and former director of People’s Grocery, Ahmadi split amicably from the nonprofit about two years ago in order to devote his energies to \u003ca href=\"http://www.berkeleyside.com/tag/peoples-community-market/\" target=\"_blank\">People’s Community Market\u003c/a> (PCM). This for-profit, socially-conscious organization is now in the final stages of securing a site for their own 10,000 square foot store. \u003ca href=\"http://peoplescommunitymarket.com/\" target=\"_blank\">PCM\u003c/a> leaders are in talks with multiple landowners, but a site at the corner of Market Street and Grand Avenue is a top contender.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Just days after Henderson announced his investment plans, Ahmadi wrote an update to his own investors. These shareholders are, for the most part, working people with ties to West Oakland. Ahmadi and his partners managed to raise PCM’s current capitalization of $1.2 million through a grassroots direct public offering. Of PCM’s 402 current shareholders, a little over half bought in with the $1,000 minimum investment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>PCM’s word-of-mouth campaign earned the prospective market not just much-needed funds, but social currency and a foothold in the neighborhood. “People — our future customers — have been involved from the very beginning,” Ahmadi says. “They’re excited to support us.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To further ensure that the store will cater to the neighborhood, PCM relies on a Community Advisory Board — assembled and facilitated by People’s Grocery — that is helping to plan everything from the store’s layout and design to product lines and community outreach.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Unfortunately, $1.2 million doesn’t buy much in West Oakland’s newly hot commercial real-estate market. Ahmadi describes unmotivated landowners determined to garner $80 per square foot for land that would have sold for $50 just last year. Initially, the organizers had expected their current funds to cover land and construction; now it seems it will go to land alone.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ahmadi is hopeful that more money will come. He says that the success of their first direct public offering has earned PCM “credibility” with bank lenders who previously wouldn’t consider touching such a project. More small investors, who missed the first round of fundraising, are waiting in the wings.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2i_2USfWdlg]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The activists behind People’s Community Market are nothing if not patient. For years they have been researching, preparing and planning this store. At stake is not just their own success, but the redemption of a neighborhood long stigmatized by store closures. “We were looking to open a store fifteen years ago,” Ahmadi says, “but the risks were too high. … Failure would be too damaging to the community.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Such painstaking preparation stands in stark contrast to the hustle of Tom Henderson’s enterprise, which has reportedly not yet commissioned a feasibility study. Ahmadi emphasizes that he welcomes Henderson’s efforts, and isn’t concerned about a competitive threat. But he is worried Henderson’s project will fail, leaving the neighborhood in the lurch.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>People’s Community Market had already rejected Henderson’s selected site, unimpressed with its location. The Jack London Gateway shopping center, while convenient to several freeways, is on the edge of the neighborhood, with poor street frontage and limited public transit nearby. “We had to consider the limitations of this community, [in which] most people are walking or taking the bus, and shop every few days instead of once a week,” Ahmadi explains.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He speculates that Henderson is perhaps counting on gentrification to bring in more affluent customers — but those drivers who might come in off the freeway will have their choice of other markets within an easy drive. And while Jack London Gateway is technically bracketed by two fast-changing neighborhoods (Jack London Square and the area around the West Oakland BART), it’s not an easy walk from either.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One key to solving the crisis of food deserts, Ahmadi contends, is understanding how to market to low-income communities of color. In urban areas across the U.S., much-needed supermarkets have failed to gain traction when their physical plans appear too high-end. Even if prices are kept low, he says, locals won’t patronize a store they perceive to be pricey.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_94127\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 720px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2015/03/abfe07_4f6a3c86572a42ffb5e29f58d52c7d23.jpg_srz_847_635_75_22_0.50_1.20_0.00_jpg_srz-720x540.jpeg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2015/03/abfe07_4f6a3c86572a42ffb5e29f58d52c7d23.jpg_srz_847_635_75_22_0.50_1.20_0.00_jpg_srz-720x540.jpeg\" alt=\"The Mandela Foods Cooperative, located across the street from the West Oakland BART, has been a model of success.

The worker-owned shop is ideally positioned to catch foot traffic, and its clever pricing system allows it to sell fresh fruit, vegetables, and other healthy staples at a significant discount, while charging more than usual for more frivolous products, like organic unbleached paper products.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>People’s Community Market plans to adopt a similar two-tiered pricing model: a foundation of familiar, affordable products will be supplemented by a few higher-end choices. And the “center aisles” of the store — where chain supermarkets typically house vast swathes of packaged sweets, sodas and snacks — will be shrunk to make room for larger offerings of produce, dairy, and other fresh foods.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While the store seeks to make a profit, its central mission will be to improve the neighborhood’s health and economy, as well as to stem the tide of displacement spurred by gentrification. Eventually, the store’s 100 employees will become owners of the business. Employees’ loyalty, as well as their value to the community and the business, will be increased through extensive trainings in nutrition, cooking, and financial literacy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_94128\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 720px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2015/03/Peoples-Front-Porch-Concept-720x377.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2015/03/Peoples-Front-Porch-Concept-720x377.jpg\" alt=\"A rendering of People’s Community Market shows a dining area at its front entrance.

As a business enterprise, PCM must win over all segments of the local population. As a social experiment, it will strive “to attract the full diversity of the community.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“For us, a grocery store is in some ways just a medium,” Ahmadi says. “We’re building a laboratory for community engagement.” An in-house venue space, managed by PCM’s community partners, will offer educational and cultural programs. A cafe will provide a place for socializing. These additions are vital for this neighborhood, Ahmadi says, whose public spaces have long suffered from neglect. The store will represent a much-needed space for neighbors to rub shoulders.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s admittedly a lot to ask of a grocery store.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On a recent sunny afternoon, though, PCM’s future neighborhood seemed primed for bottom-up growth. In the tiny Tamales la Oaxaquena on Market and 30th streets, visitors were delighted with Rosa’s homemade chicken mole.

However, three initiatives close to the hearts of food-justice activists are picking up steam and promise to bring real and lasting change for the neighborhood.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>People’s Grocery: Improving the local food system in myriad ways\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Founded in 2003 with the mission of improving West Oakland’s health and economy through the local food system, \u003ca href=\"http://www.peoplesgrocery.org/welcome?splash=1\" target=\"_blank\">People’s Grocery\u003c/a> is now host to a dizzying array of programs, from foodways education for local kids to subsidized CSA boxes and farmers markets that accept food stamps.

Stewart hopes to continue to grow People’s Grocery’s presence on the local and national stage, and to make sure that People’s continues to be “a place where people talk about food, where we grow food, cook food, talk about food policy, and empower people to make money with food-based enterprises,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A key part of her new agenda is to continue to revitalize the land around Oakland’s California Hotel, which re-opened as an apartment building for low-income residents in 2014. People’s has a community garden in the rear of the building, and Stewart hopes to add a labyrinth and medicinal herbs. Stewart places great importance in the act of gardening: “When you teach someone to grow a vegetable, you teach them to grow and change in life, and teach them to transform themselves as well as the land.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"fullwidth"},"numeric":["fullwidth"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The California Hotel will also be the site of People’s Grocery’s next event, this weekend’s Black History Month celebration. The event, titled \u003ca href=\"http://www.peoplesgrocery.org/\" target=\"_blank\">“Know Our History, Grow Our Future,”\u003c/a> will feature a panel of environmental and activist leaders like Carl Anthony and David Roach, as well as an all-ages dance party, an open garden day, and a farmer’s market.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But while the efforts of People’s Grocery do much to improve West Oaklanders’ access to healthy foods, most of the neighborhood’s 25,000 residents still make do without a convenience many city dwellers take for granted: a full-service grocery store.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>A grocery store in the Jack London Gateway shopping center\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>This lack has been making headlines lately. Just before the New Year, Oakland investor \u003ca href=\"http://www.berkeleyside.com/2013/02/01/two-big-new-restaurants-land-in-jack-london-square/\" target=\"_blank\">Tom Henderson\u003c/a> announced his plans to open a new store in the Jack London Gateway shopping center.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Oakland’s king of EB-5 investments, Henderson has already funneled millions into Oakland projects considered too high-risk to garner bank financing. His San Francisco Regional Center raises funds via a federal “Immigrant Investor” program, which grants green cards to foreigners who contribute at least $500,000 to a project that creates a minimum of ten jobs. Henderson also owns the Tribune Tower and the restaurant \u003ca href=\"http://www.berkeleyside.com/tag/tribune-tavern/\" target=\"_blank\">Tribune Tavern\u003c/a> in Uptown.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The new store, to be located in a long-vacant retail space near the corner of Market and 7th streets, will reportedly require initial start-up costs of $25 million. Henderson vows his 20,000-square-foot market will make “Safeway look like 7-Eleven.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The neighborhood, to be sure, is hungry for it. Residents of this underserved area, many with lower incomes and no cars, must schlepp heavy grocery bags home from Emeryville, Alameda, Berkeley, and far-flung Oakland neighborhoods. This annoyance robs locals of money as well as time: according to one market analysis, the neighborhood leaks $43 million a year in grocery purchases alone. Reclaiming some of this money, activists say, could help mend a local economy still scarred from disruptive city-planning missteps and discriminatory lending practices of past decades.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tom Henderson’s plans have been met with cautious optimism. Many city officials, including mayor Libby Schaff, applaud the investor’s ability to bring new money into Oakland. But some longtime merchants and community activists in the neighborhood doubt the Piedmont native’s ability to succeed in a difficult market.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>People’s Community Market: Raising more funds for a grocery store\u003c/h3>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_94126\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 360px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2015/03/12840-1377647833-360x313.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2015/03/12840-1377647833-360x313.jpg\" alt=\"Brahm Ahmadi.

The founder and former director of People’s Grocery, Ahmadi split amicably from the nonprofit about two years ago in order to devote his energies to \u003ca href=\"http://www.berkeleyside.com/tag/peoples-community-market/\" target=\"_blank\">People’s Community Market\u003c/a> (PCM). This for-profit, socially-conscious organization is now in the final stages of securing a site for their own 10,000 square foot store. \u003ca href=\"http://peoplescommunitymarket.com/\" target=\"_blank\">PCM\u003c/a> leaders are in talks with multiple landowners, but a site at the corner of Market Street and Grand Avenue is a top contender.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Just days after Henderson announced his investment plans, Ahmadi wrote an update to his own investors. These shareholders are, for the most part, working people with ties to West Oakland. Ahmadi and his partners managed to raise PCM’s current capitalization of $1.2 million through a grassroots direct public offering. Of PCM’s 402 current shareholders, a little over half bought in with the $1,000 minimum investment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>PCM’s word-of-mouth campaign earned the prospective market not just much-needed funds, but social currency and a foothold in the neighborhood. “People — our future customers — have been involved from the very beginning,” Ahmadi says. “They’re excited to support us.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To further ensure that the store will cater to the neighborhood, PCM relies on a Community Advisory Board — assembled and facilitated by People’s Grocery — that is helping to plan everything from the store’s layout and design to product lines and community outreach.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Unfortunately, $1.2 million doesn’t buy much in West Oakland’s newly hot commercial real-estate market. Ahmadi describes unmotivated landowners determined to garner $80 per square foot for land that would have sold for $50 just last year. Initially, the organizers had expected their current funds to cover land and construction; now it seems it will go to land alone.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ahmadi is hopeful that more money will come. He says that the success of their first direct public offering has earned PCM “credibility” with bank lenders who previously wouldn’t consider touching such a project. More small investors, who missed the first round of fundraising, are waiting in the wings.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutube'>\n \u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutubeInside'>\n \u003ciframe\n loading='lazy'\n class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__youtubePlayer'\n type='text/html'\n src='//www.youtube.com/embed/2i_2USfWdlg'\n title='//www.youtube.com/embed/2i_2USfWdlg'\n allowfullscreen='true'\n style='border:0;'>\u003c/iframe>\n \u003c/span>\n \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The activists behind People’s Community Market are nothing if not patient. For years they have been researching, preparing and planning this store. At stake is not just their own success, but the redemption of a neighborhood long stigmatized by store closures. “We were looking to open a store fifteen years ago,” Ahmadi says, “but the risks were too high. … Failure would be too damaging to the community.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Such painstaking preparation stands in stark contrast to the hustle of Tom Henderson’s enterprise, which has reportedly not yet commissioned a feasibility study. Ahmadi emphasizes that he welcomes Henderson’s efforts, and isn’t concerned about a competitive threat. But he is worried Henderson’s project will fail, leaving the neighborhood in the lurch.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>People’s Community Market had already rejected Henderson’s selected site, unimpressed with its location. The Jack London Gateway shopping center, while convenient to several freeways, is on the edge of the neighborhood, with poor street frontage and limited public transit nearby. “We had to consider the limitations of this community, [in which] most people are walking or taking the bus, and shop every few days instead of once a week,” Ahmadi explains.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He speculates that Henderson is perhaps counting on gentrification to bring in more affluent customers — but those drivers who might come in off the freeway will have their choice of other markets within an easy drive. And while Jack London Gateway is technically bracketed by two fast-changing neighborhoods (Jack London Square and the area around the West Oakland BART), it’s not an easy walk from either.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One key to solving the crisis of food deserts, Ahmadi contends, is understanding how to market to low-income communities of color. In urban areas across the U.S., much-needed supermarkets have failed to gain traction when their physical plans appear too high-end. Even if prices are kept low, he says, locals won’t patronize a store they perceive to be pricey.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_94127\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 720px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2015/03/abfe07_4f6a3c86572a42ffb5e29f58d52c7d23.jpg_srz_847_635_75_22_0.50_1.20_0.00_jpg_srz-720x540.jpeg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2015/03/abfe07_4f6a3c86572a42ffb5e29f58d52c7d23.jpg_srz_847_635_75_22_0.50_1.20_0.00_jpg_srz-720x540.jpeg\" alt=\"The Mandela Foods Cooperative, located across the street from the West Oakland BART, has been a model of success.

The worker-owned shop is ideally positioned to catch foot traffic, and its clever pricing system allows it to sell fresh fruit, vegetables, and other healthy staples at a significant discount, while charging more than usual for more frivolous products, like organic unbleached paper products.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>People’s Community Market plans to adopt a similar two-tiered pricing model: a foundation of familiar, affordable products will be supplemented by a few higher-end choices. And the “center aisles” of the store — where chain supermarkets typically house vast swathes of packaged sweets, sodas and snacks — will be shrunk to make room for larger offerings of produce, dairy, and other fresh foods.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While the store seeks to make a profit, its central mission will be to improve the neighborhood’s health and economy, as well as to stem the tide of displacement spurred by gentrification. Eventually, the store’s 100 employees will become owners of the business. Employees’ loyalty, as well as their value to the community and the business, will be increased through extensive trainings in nutrition, cooking, and financial literacy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_94128\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 720px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2015/03/Peoples-Front-Porch-Concept-720x377.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2015/03/Peoples-Front-Porch-Concept-720x377.jpg\" alt=\"A rendering of People’s Community Market shows a dining area at its front entrance.

As a business enterprise, PCM must win over all segments of the local population. As a social experiment, it will strive “to attract the full diversity of the community.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“For us, a grocery store is in some ways just a medium,” Ahmadi says. “We’re building a laboratory for community engagement.” An in-house venue space, managed by PCM’s community partners, will offer educational and cultural programs. A cafe will provide a place for socializing. These additions are vital for this neighborhood, Ahmadi says, whose public spaces have long suffered from neglect. The store will represent a much-needed space for neighbors to rub shoulders.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s admittedly a lot to ask of a grocery store.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On a recent sunny afternoon, though, PCM’s future neighborhood seemed primed for bottom-up growth.

Forgive me, but you’re an idiot if you think you can think about food in a vacuum without thinking about those other issues.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And then it becomes a political question. Who do you think this country should be run for? I think this country should be run for the benefit of the majority of its people. It’s not being run that way right now. When it is, some of these problems will have taken care of themselves. Sometimes we’re talking about food, and sometimes we’re talking about the bigger picture. Social justice. Democracy. Government. Capitalism.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>You’ve said that we’re focusing on the \u003ca href=\"https://storify.com/DeannaJour231/michael-pollan-mark-bittman-talk-food-policy\" target=\"_blank\">wrong kind of agricultural research\u003c/a>--what should we be looking at instead?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The focus on ag research for the last 50 or 75 years has all been about yield. We’ve proven that we can grow a lot of corn, and we’ve proven that we can do really amazing things with increasing yield. But that’s not what it’s about. We need to grow food that has minimal impact on the environment--that’s probably not compatible with thinking that yield is the most important thing. We need to grow food that is fair--that may not be compatible with increasing yield. We need to grow food that’s not poisonous--that's probably not compatible with yield. Let’s back up a little bit and ask different questions. Let’s pretend we don’t know as much as we do and say, “If we were starting again, how would we grow food? What would make sense?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>You touched on this in your recent \u003ca href=\"http://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/how-a-national-food-policy-could-save-millions-of-american-lives/2014/11/07/89c55e16-637f-11e4-836c-83bc4f26eb67_story.html\" target=\"_blank\">editorial with Michael Pollan\u003c/a> about a national food policy.\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Suppose we started with the notion that food that is sustainable, nutritious, fair and affordable [should be] available to everybody in the United States. It’s not a ridiculous thing to say. It’s actually quite primitive, really. We don’t say that. But if we did say that, how would we then go about fulfilling that mission statement? Suppose we make that our mission statement. I don’t know how we get to that place, but it doesn't mean we shouldn’t be asking those questions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What would it take to get there?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Well, if Obama was a progressive as we thought he was in 2008, and if there had been a cooperative congress all the way through--it might have happened. Maybe he should have pushed it in 2008 when there was a more cooperative congress. I think what it takes is a well-intentioned president, a well-intentioned Congress, a not-stacked Supreme Court. It’s a lot. It may not happen in my lifetime. It may not happen in your lifetime. But that is the goal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We can all make changes in our own lives, we can all eat better. We can shop at farmers' markets, we can talk about this stuff until we’re blue in the face. We can convince all our friends to eat well, blah blah blah--that’s change, that’s for real.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But there's some change that’s going to have to come from the top down. You need agencies that don’t have revolving door policies so that you have principled people running agencies. You need to have courts that understand that when an agency makes a decision, it’s a well-intentioned decision and the industry shouldn’t be able to challenge every single thing that affects them and so on down the line. When do those stars align?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I feel like in every interview I wind up saying “We're not patient enough.” And the fact is, I have to remind myself that I’m not patient enough. I think change should happen more quickly, but I’ve thought that my whole life, and now I’m 65 years old.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some changes happen quickly. I think it’s a less racist country than it was 40 years ago, it’s a less sexist country than it was 40 years ago, it’s certainly a less homophobic country than it was 40 years ago. Those are amazing changes, right? And if you’re a woman or a black person or a gay person, you might think well, not soon enough. It’s not for me to say, I’m none of those things, but what I can say is that I’ve seen a lot of change, and now we’re seeing change in food.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And really, the food thing, this conversation, is only--when was \u003ca href=\"http://michaelpollan.com/books/the-omnivores-dilemma/\" target=\"_blank\">\u003cem>Omnivore’s Dilemma\u003c/em>\u003c/a> published? When was \u003ca href=\"http://www.amazon.com/Fast-Food-Nation-Dark-All-American/dp/0547750331\" target=\"_blank\">\u003cem>Fast Food Nation\u003c/em>\u003c/a> published? This conversation is only 10, 12 years old, and it’s been a broad conversation for only five years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What’s stuck out to you as a turning point in this conversation? Has it been a bunch of small changes or one big change?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Labor has really stuck out for me. The fact that people who cared about food did not talk about labor five years ago and now they do talk about labor, that’s a big deal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What do you think caused that change and awareness?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>You can shame people and say “You talk about animals all the time but what about humans?” Even if humans are just animals, why would you care more about the cows than the people in the slaughterhouse? Why would you care more about the lettuce than the farm workers? I think people started to get that. I did write a column, I don’t think it was a very good, but it was an interesting notion: I wrote a column about \u003ca href=\"http://www.nytimes.com/2014/06/25/opinion/mark-bittman-rethinking-the-word-foodie.html\" target=\"_blank\">redefining the word “foodie”\u003c/a> and what people who express an interest in food ought to be interested in, and how that has changed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>You didn’t ask me what I had for lunch. You’re not talking to me about how great the food is in Berkeley, have I been to Oakland and eaten at blah blah blah, what my favorite restaurant is in San Francisco or how cool the farmers' market is and all the great stuff you can buy there even though it’s January. We’re not talking about that. We’re talking about the politics of food. That’s incredible. Five years ago, we would not be having this conversation. That’s a big change.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>You talk about all these insurmountable issues--what makes you optimistic?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Wendell Berry said “Don’t be optimistic, be hopeful.” What’s changed? Many things have changed for the better. \u003ca href=\"http://www.chicagotribune.com/business/breaking/ct-mcdonalds-results-0124-biz-20150123-story.html\" target=\"_blank\">McDonald's lost a ton of money\u003c/a> this year already, farmers' markets are still on the upswing, people talk about food in a way that they didn’t used to talk about it, there’s a lot of changes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>You've mentioned the new food policies by countries like Greece and Spain and--what, if any, countries are doing it “right?”\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>No one’s doing it “right.” Mexico has a national soda and junk food tax, that’s pretty cool. Brazil has a kind of right-to-food statement, that’s pretty cool, but it hasn’t fulfilled it, so that’s disappointing. I’m not aware of anyone who's doing it right.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And besides, this is America. It’s unlikely we’re going to mimic anybody. A problem is that we’ve set a bad example in many ways and other countries have followed it. We have shown how bad food can be. We have shown how unhealthy food can be. If you wanted to devise a really bad diet, you couldn’t do a much better job of doing that than we’ve done unintentionally. I think eventually that will change, but it may change other places more quickly than it changes here.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oYkbw0i6oVI&w=560&h=360]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>At the 2014 New York Times Food for Tomorrow Conference, you said that we have enough food to feed the world (\u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JWKa9DWSlz4\" target=\"_blank\">\u003cstrong>view speech\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>). So what should we instead be talking about when addressing hunger and access issues?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s money that’s the problem. It’s not a food issue; it’s a justice issue. You have never seen a hungry rich person and you never will. You’ll probably never be [hungry]. I never will either. Because we’ll have 20 dollars in our pocket. If we’re hungry we’ll go buy something to eat. There is enough food. It’s just a money question.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>The Bay Area has a notable \u003ca href=\"http://www.ers.usda.gov/data-products/food-access-research-atlas/go-to-the-atlas.aspx\" target=\"_blank\">amount of food deserts\u003c/a>--for example, just a few miles away from where we are in Berkeley, with its farmers' markets and numerous grocery stores, there are \u003ca href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Food_desert_in_West_Oakland\" target=\"_blank\">parts of West Oakland\u003c/a> that don’t have access to anything like that. What are some ways to combat those kinds of discrepancies?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What about using schools as distribution centers for subsidized fruits and vegetables? Many people have children, and they go to schools. If you don’t have a child, you could still go to the school. There’s a school in every neighborhood. Neighborhoods are not school deserts; no one calls them school deserts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I mean if you’re talking about a desperate situation--people can’t get healthy food--we are paying, and I don’t say this begrudgingly, but we are paying for the costs of people eating bad food. We call that health care costs. You get sick when you eat bad food. You’re paying one way or another, so why not pay for prevention instead of cure? Especially since the cures don’t work. And the way to pay for prevention is to guarantee that people can eat decent food.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the short term, some people are going to suffer. Nothing I can say can change that. I can’t come up with some hocus pocus “You can cook a mixture of water and cement and it turns into a good dinner.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>People are suffering. we need to fix that. but that’s not a cooking problem. if there’s a cooking problem, I can solve it.

You need agencies that don’t have revolving door policies so that you have principled people running agencies. You need to have courts that understand that when an agency makes a decision, it’s a well-intentioned decision and the industry shouldn’t be able to challenge every single thing that affects them and so on down the line. When do those stars align?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I feel like in every interview I wind up saying “We're not patient enough.” And the fact is, I have to remind myself that I’m not patient enough. I think change should happen more quickly, but I’ve thought that my whole life, and now I’m 65 years old.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some changes happen quickly. I think it’s a less racist country than it was 40 years ago, it’s a less sexist country than it was 40 years ago, it’s certainly a less homophobic country than it was 40 years ago. Those are amazing changes, right? And if you’re a woman or a black person or a gay person, you might think well, not soon enough. It’s not for me to say, I’m none of those things, but what I can say is that I’ve seen a lot of change, and now we’re seeing change in food.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And really, the food thing, this conversation, is only--when was \u003ca href=\"http://michaelpollan.com/books/the-omnivores-dilemma/\" target=\"_blank\">\u003cem>Omnivore’s Dilemma\u003c/em>\u003c/a> published? When was \u003ca href=\"http://www.amazon.com/Fast-Food-Nation-Dark-All-American/dp/0547750331\" target=\"_blank\">\u003cem>Fast Food Nation\u003c/em>\u003c/a> published? This conversation is only 10, 12 years old, and it’s been a broad conversation for only five years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What’s stuck out to you as a turning point in this conversation? Has it been a bunch of small changes or one big change?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Labor has really stuck out for me. The fact that people who cared about food did not talk about labor five years ago and now they do talk about labor, that’s a big deal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What do you think caused that change and awareness?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>You can shame people and say “You talk about animals all the time but what about humans?” Even if humans are just animals, why would you care more about the cows than the people in the slaughterhouse? Why would you care more about the lettuce than the farm workers? I think people started to get that. I did write a column, I don’t think it was a very good, but it was an interesting notion: I wrote a column about \u003ca href=\"http://www.nytimes.com/2014/06/25/opinion/mark-bittman-rethinking-the-word-foodie.html\" target=\"_blank\">redefining the word “foodie”\u003c/a> and what people who express an interest in food ought to be interested in, and how that has changed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>You didn’t ask me what I had for lunch. You’re not talking to me about how great the food is in Berkeley, have I been to Oakland and eaten at blah blah blah, what my favorite restaurant is in San Francisco or how cool the farmers' market is and all the great stuff you can buy there even though it’s January. We’re not talking about that. We’re talking about the politics of food. That’s incredible. Five years ago, we would not be having this conversation. That’s a big change.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>You talk about all these insurmountable issues--what makes you optimistic?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Wendell Berry said “Don’t be optimistic, be hopeful.” What’s changed? Many things have changed for the better. \u003ca href=\"http://www.chicagotribune.com/business/breaking/ct-mcdonalds-results-0124-biz-20150123-story.html\" target=\"_blank\">McDonald's lost a ton of money\u003c/a> this year already, farmers' markets are still on the upswing, people talk about food in a way that they didn’t used to talk about it, there’s a lot of changes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>You've mentioned the new food policies by countries like Greece and Spain and--what, if any, countries are doing it “right?”\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>No one’s doing it “right.” Mexico has a national soda and junk food tax, that’s pretty cool. Brazil has a kind of right-to-food statement, that’s pretty cool, but it hasn’t fulfilled it, so that’s disappointing. I’m not aware of anyone who's doing it right.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And besides, this is America. It’s unlikely we’re going to mimic anybody. A problem is that we’ve set a bad example in many ways and other countries have followed it. We have shown how bad food can be. We have shown how unhealthy food can be. If you wanted to devise a really bad diet, you couldn’t do a much better job of doing that than we’ve done unintentionally. I think eventually that will change, but it may change other places more quickly than it changes here.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutube'>\n \u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutubeInside'>\n \u003ciframe\n loading='lazy'\n class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__youtubePlayer'\n type='text/html'\n src='//www.youtube.com/embed/oYkbw0i6oVI'\n title='//www.youtube.com/embed/oYkbw0i6oVI'\n allowfullscreen='true'\n style='border:0;'>\u003c/iframe>\n \u003c/span>\n \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>At the 2014 New York Times Food for Tomorrow Conference, you said that we have enough food to feed the world (\u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JWKa9DWSlz4\" target=\"_blank\">\u003cstrong>view speech\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>). So what should we instead be talking about when addressing hunger and access issues?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s money that’s the problem. It’s not a food issue; it’s a justice issue. You have never seen a hungry rich person and you never will. You’ll probably never be [hungry]. I never will either. Because we’ll have 20 dollars in our pocket. If we’re hungry we’ll go buy something to eat. There is enough food. It’s just a money question.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>The Bay Area has a notable \u003ca href=\"http://www.ers.usda.gov/data-products/food-access-research-atlas/go-to-the-atlas.aspx\" target=\"_blank\">amount of food deserts\u003c/a>--for example, just a few miles away from where we are in Berkeley, with its farmers' markets and numerous grocery stores, there are \u003ca href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Food_desert_in_West_Oakland\" target=\"_blank\">parts of West Oakland\u003c/a> that don’t have access to anything like that. What are some ways to combat those kinds of discrepancies?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What about using schools as distribution centers for subsidized fruits and vegetables? Many people have children, and they go to schools. If you don’t have a child, you could still go to the school. There’s a school in every neighborhood. Neighborhoods are not school deserts; no one calls them school deserts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I mean if you’re talking about a desperate situation--people can’t get healthy food--we are paying, and I don’t say this begrudgingly, but we are paying for the costs of people eating bad food. We call that health care costs. You get sick when you eat bad food. You’re paying one way or another, so why not pay for prevention instead of cure? Especially since the cures don’t work. And the way to pay for prevention is to guarantee that people can eat decent food.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the short term, some people are going to suffer. Nothing I can say can change that.
