Cultivating and Revitalizing Sacramento’s Economy

Working alongside Mayor Kevin Johnson, FUSE Executive Fellow Erika Dimmler played a leadership role in executing the Greenwise Action Plan. Erika brought together key stakeholders throughout Sacramento, including Sac High, Sacramento’s public schools, and the city of Sacramento, to build a national prototype for a healthy food and jobs program called Edible Sac High. Her efforts led to an integrated food systems curriculum at Sacramento High School that includes a schoolyard garden, student kitchen instruction, and cafeteria management experience.
