Combating Food Insecurity: Local Organizations Rooted & Slowfood UW’s Commitment to Community-Led Food Systems

In this episode of GridgeFridge, we dive into how one local agricultural nonprofit organization, Rooted, runs its multifaceted mission to build community-led food systems, making fresh, quality food accessible to everyone.Urban farms, community gardens and a neighborhood center are just some of the cornerstones to how Rooted strengthens its community outreach and development. Education is a pillar of Rooted’s efforts to integrate community-led food systems, and one of their partnerships is with Badger Rock Middle School, a project-based charter school. Rooted provides the middle school students with gardening and culinary lessons and works with Slowfood UW to get connected with college volunteers to help at the middle school.We spoke with Rooted’s Director of Urban Agriculture Education at its Madison South locations and two UW students who previously worked at Badger Rock Middle School, Kiley Ystenes and Addy Von Bernthal, who now work as executive directors for Slowfood UW. Their unique perspectives offer insight into how community assets, needs and ideas are essential to strengthening food access for all populations. Together, they offer not just a visualized goal of a community-led food system, but the steps a community can take to make fresh, affordable and sustainable food a lasting part of its livelihood.

The Intersection Between Housing, Health, and Life in Madison

In this episode of GridgeFridge, we explore the burgeoning housing crisis in Madison and the ways in which it intersects with health and well-being for students and community members alike.Through conversations with UW students and staff, affordable housing advocates, mental health professionals, and community leaders, we examine how rising rents, limited availability, and unstable living conditions are reshaping life on and off the UW–Madison campus.From students navigating lease pressure and luxury apartment “affordable housing” units, to longtime Madison residents witnessing the impacts of housing insecurity, we explore how housing instability impacts far more than where someone rests their head at night. It affects physical and mental health, academic and professional success, and someone's sense of stability and belonging.This episode features perspectives from UW–Madison student Angel Delgado, University Health Services Director of Mental Health Services Dr. Ellen Marks, Porchlight Executive Director Karla Thennes, realtor and business owner Tiffany Malone, former Madison alderperson and current Odyssey Project Success Coach Brian Benford, career journalist and professor Sue Robinson, and real estate faculty member Paul Aylesworth. And together, they offer their thoughts and reflections on the pressures, tradeoffs, and systemic challenges that continue to shape who is able to live, stay, and thrive in Madison.As the city continues to grow, the question becomes not just how to build more housing, but how to create housing that is truly affordable, accessible, and sustainable for the people who call Madison home.
