A brief description of the innovative policy, practice, program, or outcome :
Food and Climate Summit
In December 2009, New York University, Just Food, and the Manhattan Borough president Scott M. Stringer presented the NYC Food and Climate Summit: Creating a Platform for Change. The daylong event was a summit of family farmers, community gardeners, concerned citizens, activists, advocates, parents, food experts, policy makers, environmentalists, nutritionists, educators, urban planners, urban designers, government, community, business and civic leaders, students, elected officials, and city government leaders. The summit was held to increase engagement and action around New York’s food system’s role in climate problems and solutions. The summit offered informational sessions to provide an introduction to food and global warming issues and solutions; skill-building workshops to offer hands-on training to promote a climate-friendly food system through individual choice and action; and, public policy sessions to create a forum for experts to address current challenges to reducing the climate and environmental impact of the local food system.
