What does a vibrant San Francisco look like? This was the question posed a few weeks ago at a discussion hosted by Foodwise. I, for one, imagine a landscape full of bright colors, enticing smells, and joyful sounds, where the food that we eat reflects the community and celebrates our natural resources. Despite what some outsiders might think, we still have all of those things: San Francisco absolutely remains a vibrant city, with brilliant people doing incredible things.
Some of those people include Pia Harris, CEO of SF Housing Development Corporation, Emiliana Puyana, director of the La Cocina incubator program, and Nafy Flatley, chef and owner of Teranga, all of whom sat as panelists for recent Foodwise Talks discussion “Can Small Food Businesses Spark San Francisco’s Revitalization?” During the conversation, moderated by Foodwise Executive Director Christine Farren, some of the biggest challenges facing small food businesses were discussed, along with some ideas for how to meet them. |
