Milwaukee Smart Grocery Network
An introduction to PHASE I ROUNDTABLE
Milwaukee Smart Grocery Network/MSGN is individual Curators of foods within the Urban City of Milwaukee, rural farms, and garden networks in southeastern Wisconsin.
Our Mission is to help import healthy eating ideas and habits to families for more nutritional eating and healthier lifestyles. We share state-of-the-art information for informed decision-making at the food-kitchen table that translates to better health, taste in foods, cultural-favored authenic foods, and sustainability.
The committed collaboration of interested individuals meets monthly and tri-monthly to fellowship in leadership while sharing healthy food groups for intake for healthy consumption and nutrition ecology – human health, the environment, society and the economy.
The word “curator” speaks to any individual, parent, daily manager, employee, distributor, grower, supplier and entrepreneur that create an array of marketplace foods for to be consumed by humans and the foods promote sustainability. The foods may be donated, bargained and/or sold.
PURVEYORS
Special stakeholder attention is given to FAMILIES/PARENTS, Milwaukee Public School and Milwaukee Area Technical College (public schools), grocers, trendy/IT grocers (meal on wheels), culinary entrepreneurship and employee staffing (re-entry from incarceration and armed services), Text4Baby, American Heart Association and other health organizations, cultural groups and global heritage of color that make up the population of Urban Milwaukee. Our doors are open to Dr. Wujie Zhang, MSOE, Fresh Farm Atlas of Southeastern Wisconsin and the United States Department of Agriculture/USDA GoodGreens Network and Know your Farmer services.
CURATORS
Grocery Curators are individually and jointly owned. They are not bound by a status of profit or no-profit. They have today’s options of business structures. They have volunteer ambassadors to professionally paid experts; and, crowdfunding for an efficiency of operation is a start-up option. We encourage Information Technology for neighborhood stewardship and capacity building. We will use Next Door social network for outreach to Milwaukeeans for Introduction circles at the neighborhood level.
EVENTS
Annual events are to depict seasonal and diversity of groups in authentic foods and its enjoyments.
