What's On Your Plate Community Input Survey
In August, to kick-start the project, we designed and conducted a survey across low-income neighborhoods within People For Action's network to understand the real-time effects of inflation on food consumption patterns.
Using insights from these surveys, we developed a locally relevant “basket of goods” model, similar to the Consumer Price Index (CPI), mapping price changes across essential commodities.
Alongside the resources mentioned under 'Our Resources', to promote practical learning and nutritional awareness, using the BiteWise recipe booklet, between June and August 2026, I conducted a series of hands-on cooking workshops with students at People for Action; our partner NGO.
The sessions were designed to be fire-less and knives free, allowing students to curate simple and healthy dishes using ingredients brought by them. I presented cooking demonstrations on one savoury and one sweet dish as well.
