WHY IS HEALTHY ECONOMICS DIFFERENT?
Healthy Economics is not a program, but rather an intergenerational network that shares the focus of improving the communities food and educational system by utilizing the school (often the high school) as the center of the community.

Our strategy to improve the food system, is to increase the production and distribution of healthy food within a community by setting up farmers markets and cooperative grocery stores (the main role of mo' better food).

Our strategy to improve the educational system is to increase the governance in the schools, i.e. student government, parent teacher associations, alumni associations (main role of friends of school) and involve these organizations in the development of farmers markets and cooperative grocery stores ( the main function of the intergenerational enterprise).

The community becomes physically healthier from increasing their access to fresh fruits and vegetables and economically healthier from establishing the needed businesses within the community that provide healthy food, jobs, training and community pride.

This is what we call building Healthy Economics!
The four main programs of Healthy Economics are:
Mo’ Better Food.com - develops social enterprises that increase access to healthy fruits and vegetables that also support and promote local farmers.

1stSaturdays.com (monthly action and review) is a reminder date to increase vounteerism to at least once a month.

We call it the official monthly volunteer day. We also promote other events and send e-blasts of these events and volunter opportunities to our subscribers.

Friends of School.org (community specific)- strengthens 1) students government 2) pta’s 3) alumni associations, 4) business partners in every school.

Our goal is to strengthen the systems of every school so that the typical organizations on campus are working together to improve the overall health of the school and it's surrounding community.
