Wikipedia:Meetup/Indianapolis/Food Deserts

[edit]

The following to do list was created for the food deserts editathon, and is preserved here for the to continue working on unfinished tasks:

To create
Article Notes Sources
Gleaners Food Bank
Cleo’s Bodega Cleo's has short section in the Flanner House entry.
Original Farmers’ Market
Broad Ripple Farmers’ Market Not a ton of unique information, possibly create a section in the Broad Ripple Village, Indianapolis article which needs citations/expansions.
Lawrence Community Gardens
Indianapolis Community Food Access Coalition
Community Compass
Indy Hunger Network
Food Access Research Atlas
Second Helpings (nonprofit)
The Gleaning Garden
Double 8 Foods Local grocery chain that closed down, resulting in food deserts.
To improve
Article Notes Sources
Food desert Article needs a more global focus and could be better organized
Food security
Hunger in the United States
Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program Article needs updated with 2021 policy updates
Farmers' markets Needs more info about history/structure and acceptance of SNAP benefits and other U.S. federal programs. Could try to expand global focus/info, too.
Impact of farmers' markets on economies within the United States
Market Wagon Entry is in good shape, but needs categories.
Indianapolis City Market Stub. The City Market is described as a food hall, but was once a farmers market.
Marsh Supermarkets Entry is in good shape, but would benefit from photographs--anyone have one of a store for sale or vacant?
Indianapolis White Castle Entry is not about the food, but could use an update. Current photo? What is the status of the building? Who has used it since 2011?
Flanner House Entry needs an expanded lead. Section on Cleo’s Bodega needs citations.
2022 United States infant formula shortage Entry mentions that Indianapolis is a "Nestlé distribution hub," but that's probably Anderson, Indiana. The entry for Nestlé does not mention its hubs.
Indiana State Fair Entry states that Indiana was the 6th state to establish an "agricultural fair"--needs citation. Entry does not describe role of agriculture in more recent iterations of the fair.
National FFA Organization Entry is in good shape, but mentions that convention will be held in Indianapolis until 2024. That can be updated to 2031. * https://www.ibj.com/articles/71668-indianapolis-wins-bid-to-host-ffa-convention-through-2031
Corteva Stub. Entry mentions use of beagles in research at this Indiana ag company ... as a "Criticism," but gives the controversy over Dicamba very little mention.
Mycogen Seeds Entry is a stub. Company was acquired by Corteva and then its lead product was replaced by a different brand.
List of U.S. state foods Indiana does not have a "state food," but it does have a "state pie" and a "state snack."
Alcohol laws of Indiana Stub. This entry does not provide any history or context and merely begins with the 2018 repeal of Sunday sales.
Kroger Entry mentions that Kroger built an "ultra-modern" dairy plant (Crossroads Farms Dairy) in Indianapolis--citation needed.
