Plant-food diversity audit — distinct plants per week — Detroit.

In neighborhoods with limited fresh-food access, plant variety collapses to a handful of species and gut and metabolic health quietly follow. Counting a real weekly plant baseline makes the gap visible and turns nearby, affordable options — frozen, canned, dried legumes, herbs — into a concrete diversity plan.

This packet is not funded yet, so this figure is a proposed price and not money waiting in escrow. If a buyer funds it, approved proof settles that price onchain. If nobody funds it, approved proof earns provable credit toward the work instead of cash — recorded, and readable any time at vealth.net/labor/credit/(your wallet). You see which before you claim, never after.

Proof

7-day count of DISTINCT plant species (counting species, not servings) vs the ~30/week context, plus identified group gaps and a coached diversity progression

This is exactly what gets it approved. Nothing settles without it.

How this work is done

A documented method, so this packet comes out the same whoever does it.

Bring

• a 7-day food log or meal photos
• a plant-tally sheet (species, not servings)
• note on food allergies/intolerances + any GI condition
• note on any clinician-directed restrictive diet

Steps

1. 1. Log 7 days of food; note any diagnosed GI condition (IBD, celiac), food allergies/intolerances, or a clinician-directed restrictive diet — these change the plan and may need a dietitian.
2. 2. Tally DISTINCT plant species across the week — count each vegetable, fruit, legume, nut/seed, whole grain, and herb/spice once (not per serving); different varieties/colors count separately.
3. 3. Compare the weekly distinct-plant count to the ~30/week diversity context (McDonald 2018) as a coached goal, not a prescription.
4. 4. Identify low-coverage groups (e.g., no legumes, few whole grains) and set a coached progression: add 2-3 new plants/week from the missing groups, favor fiber + polyphenol-rich choices, and increase fiber gradually with fluids.
5. 5. Record the distinct-plant count, group gaps, and the coached plan; sign. Route any red flag to a clinician / dietitian.

What counts as done

• 7-day distinct-plant-species count (each vegetable/fruit/legume/nut-seed/whole-grain/herb-spice counted once)
• Low-coverage plant groups identified (legumes / whole grains / nuts-seeds / herbs-spices / produce color range)
• Coached progression recorded (add new plants from missing groups; favor affordable frozen/canned/dried options; increase fiber gradually with fluids)
• Allergy / GI-condition / restrictive-diet context recorded and any red flag routed to a clinician / dietitian

Proof is measured against these, not judged by taste.
