Policy

As New York and the world reels with the repercussions of financial market
meltdown, it may go unnoticed that there are numerous important
developments in the city and in the world related to the crisis of food
access and heightened efforts to address solutions for both the city's
and the global food crisis.

This is the first of future postings from contributors to the new
Food Systems Network food policy blog. Among developments in the city
are new initiatives of Brooklyn and Manhattan boroughs to bring
attention to deepening food insecurity due to higher food prices and
increasing disparities in food access in certain neighborhoods. We will
share policy mapping exercises for New York City networks and
organizations.
