Community food and energy projects can break down social barriers by thinking globally and acting locally through a bottom-up approach that involves whole communities. These projects raise awareness of untapped energy resources, promote healthier lifestyles, address food inequality, and maximize each community's potential by being adaptable and selected by the community. They provide social, healthy, and rewarding experiences that can be a springboard for further involvement.
