Why does Las Vegas need a food hub? This question is critical to understanding our project. Food hubs make communities healthier and more sustainable by improving nutrition and expanding and diversifying the local food system.
fresh
Food hubs not only bring fruits and vegetables into communities, but they also substantially improve the nutritional quality of those foods. Fresh produce begins to loose nutrient value soon after harvesting. Vegetables can lose 15 to 55 percent of vitamin C within a week. Producing food locally reduces the amount of time fruits and vegetables spend in transit.
Local food systems lower a community’s overall ecological impact. Food shipped over long distances has an exponentially higher embodied energy and associated carbon footprint than food produced locally.

economic benefit
There is a direct for communities to produce food locally. Each dollar spent within a community recirculates through the local economy, creating an economic multiplier that lifts the economy as a whole. When food is purchased from distant growers, wealth is drained from the community. For these reasons, it is in every community’s best interest to develop and grow a robust local food system. For cities such as Las Vegas, which face many environmental and economic challenges, a food hub is one of the most effective strategies for achieving long-term
community health.
Why combine food and wellness? Our goal is to make downtown Las Vegas a healthier community. Food is an important part of this issue, but so is physical exercise and inner wellness. We integrated a food hub and wellness center so that we could enhance community wellness on multiple levels.
