About

The LIFE Zone will be a vibrant, local food economy hub where food growers, producers, and processors collaborate and share resources to maximize benefits. By eliminating barriers and providing incentives, the LIFE Zone will create jobs in an array of businesses related to local food. The LIFE Zone’s ancillary benefits will include community development, public health improvement, brownfield remediation, improved environmental sustainability, elevated food security and greater social equity.

Currently the LIFE Zone Team is working through a grant in Louisville Metro Health Department to improve food equity throughout Louisville. The team was created to begin to implement The LIFE Zone initiative and is working out of the The University of Louisville's Urban Design Studio currently.
