The REACH Project: Digital Fabrication Lab (part 5)

The Diocesan Food Bank of Guadalajara (BDA) is a Civil Society organization which has operated in the Jalisco state of Mexico since 1991. Its main function is the management and distribution of food donated by companies and individuals, which are destined to the poor families of the State of Jalisco. Jalisco is home to 8.3 million people with over 1.24 million individuals experiencing food poverty. Approximately one third of all food produced in Mexico is wasted; the equivalent of enough food to feed over 7 million individuals. The BDA is able to procure, process and redistribute over 40 tons of food to affiliated communities and civil society organizations but, owing to operational capacity, over 90% of the population continues to live in hunger.
