I was actually thinking planting some vegetables and selling them to people who live in a food desert. But it’s questionable anyone would eat them unless deep fried I assume
You could start by giving some away. You’ll get people’s attention, get them used to cooking more. Then you could also put out a request for donations or volunteer farmers who’d maybe get first pick of the crop. Good way to make friends and build community. Sooner or later maybe you can start a produce stand and turn a profit, and maybe before long you’ve got enough people involved to start a regular farmer’s market. That kind of local resilience would do a lot of good.
I cook pretty much every single meal for my family from scratch, even breads. I’ve worked as a chef though, and I know what I’m doing. I’m not in the states anymore, but I know that many people who live in food deserts don’t have affordable access to fresh produce or basic staples. What I said above was tailored to people in that situation.
They tried exporting those, demand has been markedly lower. I think America might be stuck with em

Reading this from a non US perspective is wild. Do you guys really not cook anything?
