In September of 2009, Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa formed the Food Policy Task Force. The role of this entity is to form recommendations on a variety of issues related to food distribution, access, waste, etc. and an assessment of the local foodshed. The Task Force was charged with producing a report detailing their research and findings. Handbuilt designed the report, detailing a “Good Food” Agenda. Graphically, the report synthesizes a variety of diverse information in a consistent package, utilizing a clear system and grid to organize it. The good food agenda promotes four key points: fair, sustainable, local, and healthy food. These key points organize the report and the issues instigate a color coding that carries through the document. Imagery in the book is inserted into the silhouetted shapes of fruits and vegetables resulting in a counterbalance to the flowing text. In the end the project is intended to be read either front to back or as a handbook of sorts allowing access at various points of the text.
