This summer the Green Machine, Memphis’ first mobile food market, began providing residents of 15 low-income neighborhoods without full-service supermarkets with access to fruits, vegetables and dried goods. Research by U of M students from the Graduate Program in City and Regional Planning helped to identify the underserved areas and plan the routes. The former MATA bus also includes a nutritional, health and wellness corner. Volunteers helped design the bus.
