Testimonials
"As a nascent founder of a new non-profit, the FSNNYC has been an
integral resource during our upstart phase. The personal relationships
forged have proved to be fantastic sounding boards, lending both advice
and support in this often-lonely world of non-profit creation."
-Christine Carroll, Founding Director, CulinaryCorps

"The Network has been so useful to my work on a very practical level
and helped me understand what's going on in food systems in NYC. On a
personal level, I almost cried after my first meeting: here were
various camps in food systems work talking to each other. The worlds
are being bridged!"
-Susan Fields, GreenBridge Manager, Brooklyn Botanic Gardens
