Food security. It’s a term we hear a lot these days. But defining food security can be difficult. There are literally hundreds of definitions and an even greater number of food security indicators. As defined by the United States Department of Agriculture’s Economic Research Service, food security is “access by all people at all times to enough food for an active, healthy life.” More precise definitions include references to food preferences, dietary needs, safety, etc.Â

GENEVA – A Geneva company is ready to convert tons of food waste into rich soil at a new facility touted to be a first of its kind a one-stop drop-off for everything that would otherwise get thrown in a trash or recycling bin to be hauled off to a landfill, including food scraps that at the facility will be converted by hungry worms into rich compost.
Geneva City Supervisor Ken Camera, an environmental advocate and member of the Green Geneva Committee among other like-minded groups, sees the project becoming a model for similar facilities certainly in Ontario County and surrounding communities in the Rochester/Finger Lakes region that is home to the three largest landfills in the state.

December 21, 2020
As hunger rose in the face of the global COVID-19 pandemic, Rick ’81 and Laura MPS ’81 Pedersen responded by sharing the bounty of their farm with their local food bank in upstate New York.
The couple – owners of Pedersen Farms in Seneca Castle, New York, five miles west of Geneva in Ontario County – partnered with community activists to donate more than 90,000 pounds of produce to people in need. The Pedersens have joined other smallholder farmers across the United States in helping food banks meet an extreme increase in demand due to the pandemic and ensure there’s food on the table.
