SUMMARY:At the Grassroots: Urban Gardening as Politics
DESCRIPTION:Cities have long been vilified as unhealthy\, crime-infested\, and chaotic – or\, as Thomas Jefferson once described them\, “pestilential to the morals\, the health and the liberties of man.”  Parklands and gardens\, green-spaces and fire-escape flower beds are viewed as mitigators of urban malaise\, making livable and attractive the “unnatural” environments of cities.  Yet gardens are not neutral territories.  They advance political agendas and critique others.  They can be sites of resistance\, as well as tools of social control.  This panel explores the politics of the urban garden\, past and present\, in American\, German\, and Austrian contexts.  It accompanies the Deutsches Haus exhibit\,”Urban Agriculture and Modern Housing in Austria: Health\, Food\, and Labor in the Cooperative Settlement\, 1903-1933\,” curated by Sophie Hochhäusl and on view from April 20 to May 10\, 2015. \nDeutsches Haus\, 42 Washington Mews @ University Place \nNote: The exhibit will open at 6:30pm; the panel will start at 7pm. \nPanelists: \nSophie Hochhäusl\, History of Architecture and Urbanism\, Cornell University \nAndrew Newman\, Assistant Professor\, Anthropology\, Wayne State University \nWilliam LoSasso\, Executive Director\, La Plaza Cultural Community Garden \nHillary Angelo\, Sociology\, NYU (moderator) \nThis event is sponsored by Deutsches Haus at NYU and co-sponsored by the Urban Democracy Lab.

SUMMARY:Climate Change Planning Workshop for East Harlem and Central Harlem
DESCRIPTION:From weact.org \nWe all know that our communities are incredibly vulnerable to the impacts of climate change\, and that changes to the environment will only worsen the socio-economic inequalities that the poor\, working class\, and communities of color already suffer from. In order to make sure that NYC’s response to climate change addresses these issues of environmental justice\, we would like to invite you to a series of participatory workshops where we will be developing a climate action plan for Northern Manhattan. \nAt the workshop\, happening 11th\, we will be exploring the future environmental and social impacts of climate change on Northern Manhattan\, while also developing a long-term strategy for mitigating those impacts on local communities that suffer disproportionately from environmental pollution. In other words\, the workshops are an opportunity to learn about the challenges that hurricanes and heat waves will present\, while also creating our own vision for a clean environment\, fair economy\, and a city where communities are valued\, not exploited. \nIf you are interested in participating in this discussion about environmental justice and climate change\, please RSVP for the workshops listed below: \nWorkshop in East Harlem and Central Harlem\nSaturday\, April 11 // 9:30am – 2:30pm\nHenry J. Carter Specialty Hospital\, 1752 Park Avenue (at 121st Street)\nRSVP here\nContact for more info: Louis Bailey

SUMMARY:Participatory Budgeting
DESCRIPTION:How does participatory budgeting work? \nLast fall\, district residents like you came to neighborhood assemblies to identify community needs and suggest projects. Then\, volunteers joined delegate committees to develop those suggestions into project proposals\, and worked with city agencies to estimate project costs. They put together the proposals you will vote on today. \nNow is your chance to vote for the projects you think should get funded. The projects with the most votes will be included in next year’s city budget\, to be built or implemented over the next few years. \nYou’ll get to enjoy the improvements you help make happen. And hopefully\, you’ll be a part of future participatory budgeting efforts in the city! \nParticipating Members \nManhattan \nCorey Johnson (District 3)\nBen Kallos (District 5)\nMark Levine (District 7)\nSpeaker Melissa Mark-Viverito (District 8)\nYdanis Rodriguez (District 10)\nHelen Rosenthal (District 6) \nBrooklyn \nDavid Greenfield (District 44)\nBrad Lander (District 39)\nSteve Levin (District 33)\nCarlos Menchaca (District 38)\nAntonio Reynoso (District 34)\nMark Treyger (District 47)\nJumaane D.

SUMMARY:Climate Change Planning Workshop for West Harlem & Washington Heights / Inwood
DESCRIPTION:From weact.org \nWe all know that our communities are incredibly vulnerable to the impacts of climate change\, and that changes to the environment will only worsen the socio-economic inequalities that the poor\, working class\, and communities of color already suffer from. In order to make sure that NYC’s response to climate change addresses these issues of environmental justice\, we would like to invite you to a series of participatory workshops where we will be developing a climate action plan for Northern Manhattan. \nAt the workshops\, happening on April 4th and 11th\, we will be exploring the future environmental and social impacts of climate change on Northern Manhattan\, while also developing a long-term strategy for mitigating those impacts on local communities that suffer disproportionately from environmental pollution. In other words\, the workshops are an opportunity to learn about the challenges that hurricanes and heat waves will present\, while also creating our own vision for a clean environment\, fair economy\, and a city where communities are valued\, not exploited. \nIf you are interested in participating in this discussion about environmental justice and climate change\, please RSVP for the workshops listed below: \nWorkshop in West Harlem & Washington Heights / Inwood\nSaturday\, April 4 // 9:30am – 2:30pm\nMary McLeod Bethune Senior Center\, 1970 Amsterdam Ave (at 158th Street)\nRSVP here \nWorkshop in East Harlem and Central Harlem\nSaturday\, April 11 // 9:30am – 2:30pm\nHenry J.

SUMMARY:Help Create a Space for Girls of Color & Social Justice 
DESCRIPTION:This is an open call for parents\, guardians or caregivers of girls of color who may want to get together to brainstorm and dialogue about the possibility of starting a group for the girls. The motivation is to create a community space for girls of color 6-12 where they can proudly and safely form and reinforce their racial identity\, develop radical self-love and a high self-esteem\, and together make sense of big ideas associated with social justice. \nMay be something similar to what the Radical Brownies are doing in the Bay Area; may be a space where girls can learn critical thinking within a group of girls of color\, where they can learn to identify the role race …and racism have in their lives. May be a space where young girls of color can learn about all the community organizing efforts in New York City and beyond. Maybe we can collectively develop a social justice curriculum. We don’t know\, exactly. But we are seeking ideas and input from other parents or caregivers who may see the need and usefulness of a group of this kind in New York City. \nWe have secured meeting space. Thanks Kimberly Mabry Wright and child-care with a Women of Color Celebration Theme for the meeting. Thank you Jeannine Sloane-Wilby! Please come and tell other women and girls.   \nIf you cannot attend and want more information or want to get involved please text: Flor \nEsta es una convocatoria abierta para madres\, tutores o encargados de niñas de color que quieran reflexionar y dialogar sobre la posibilidad de iniciar un grupo para las niñas. La motivación es tener un espacio creado por la comunidad para niñas de color 6-12 anios de edad donde pueden con orgullo y con seguridad formar y reforzar su identidad racial\, desarrollar amor propio y una alta autoestima\, para juntas entender ideas relacionadas con la justicia social.\nPuede ser algo parecido a lo que el grupo Radical Brownies están haciendo en la zona de la bahía de San Francisco; puede ser un espacio donde las niñas puedan aprender a pensar críticamente dentro entre un grupo de niñas de color\, donde pueden aprender a identificar el papel que la raza y el racismo juegan en sus vidas. Puede ser un espacio donde las niñas de color pueden aprender acerca de todos los esfuerzos de organización comunitaria en la Ciudad de Nueva York y más allá. Tal vez\, colectivamente\, podemos desarrollar una curriculum de estudio de justicia social para nuestras ninas. No sabemos\, exactamente. Pero estamos buscando ideas y aportaciones de otras madres o cuidadores que tambien ven la necesidad y utilidad de un grupo de este tipo en la Ciudad de Nueva York. \nHemos conseguido espacio para reuniones. Gracias Kimberly Mabry Wright y cuidado de niñas con una actividad con el tema de la celebración mujeres de color. Gracias Jeannine Sloane-Wilby ! Por favor ven y comparte con otras mujeres y niñas

SUMMARY:Food Policy for Breakfast: Eric Holt-Giménez: Food First/Institute for Food and Development Policy\, Putting the Public Back in Food
DESCRIPTION:Part of our Spring 2015 Food Policy for Breakfast Seminar Series. \nOn March 17th\, in honor of the 40th Anniversary of Food First / Institute for Food and Development Policy in Oakland\, California\, Food Policy for Breakfast will present   Eric Holt-Giménez \, who will speak on  “Putting the Public Back in Food.”  He will describe the vanishing public sphere and what local food activists can do to resist the increasing privatization of the food system. As Eric states\, today’s food system has been shaped by the privatization of public goods and the deregulation of corporate capital\, leading to the highest levels of global inequality in economic history…. In many ways the community food movement\, with its projects for a fair\, sustainable\, healthy food system is rebuilding our public sphere from the ground up.” \nWith more than 25 years of experience working with farmers in Central America\, Eric Holt-Giménez joined Food First as its Executive Director in 2006. His book\, Campesino a Campesino: Voices from Latin America’s Farmer to Farmer Movement for Sustainable Agriculture\, tells the story of the spread of sustainable agriculture through farmer to farmer methods in Central America\, improving livelihoods for hundreds of thousands of rural families.  His 2011 book Food Movements Unite! Strategies to Transform Our Food Systems brings together grassroots voices from around the world to address the critical question: How can we unite to transform the global food system? \nRead more…

SUMMARY:Food Security Governance: Empowering communities\, regulating corporations
DESCRIPTION:The University Food Policy Collaborative of New York City Presents\nFood Security Governance: Empowering communities\, regulating corporations\nA panel discussion in celebration of Nora McKeon’s new book Today’s global food system generates hunger alongside of land grabs\, food waste\, health problems\, massive greenhouse gas emissions.\nNora McKeon’s just-released book explains why we find ourselves in this situation and explores what we can do to change it. In her talk she will contrast how actors link up in corporate global food chains and in the local food systems that are considered to be “alternative” but in fact feed most of the world’s population. She will describe how communities around the world are protecting their access to resources and building better ways of food provision and discuss how the Committee on World Food Security – a uniquely inclusive global policy forum since its reform in 2009 – could be supportive of these efforts. The talk will conclude with a call to blow the whistle on predatory capitalism by building effective public policy instruments for accountable governance and extending their authority to the realm of regulating markets and corporations. \nRead more…

SUMMARY:Annual Farm to City Expo
DESCRIPTION:The Farm to City Expo is an annual half day forum supporting local purchasing in the food service industry. When you attend the Farm to City Expo you can discover how buying locally can improve your bottom line. \n2015 Forum: \nGoing with the Grain: The Renaissance of NYS Grain Production \nThe New York State Department of Agriculture and Markets and Empire State Development are co-hosting the annual Farm to City Expo 2015 at the International Restaurant and Foodservice Show of New York on March 10th\, 2015 from 12 pm-2:30 pm. The discussion is called Going with the Grain: The Renaissance of NYS Grain Production\, a two panel forum featuring speakers from many ends of the grain value chain.  New York State has been growing grain since 1678 and it’s seen a recent increase in production.  In fact\, grain can now be found on more tables across the state than ever before. Come hear the ways you can bring local grain to your table! \nNew York’s first seeds of grain were sown on Long Island in 1678 and these golden fields soon created an iconic breadbasket stretching all the way to Western New York.  It may be hard to believe today\, but the Empire State\, which is known throughout the world for its maple syrup\, apples\, dairies and wineries\, was also once one of the top grain producers in the country.  In the mid-1800s\, dehydrated soils\, pest invasion\, and transportation improvements\, contributed to its demise. \nGrain production is making a remarkable comeback here in New York thanks to a number of efforts encouraging the use of locally-grown grain.  One important player has been GrowNYC.  In an effort to integrate local grains at their farmers markets\, GrowNYC now requires bakers to source 15% of their grains locally.  Knowledge on local grains continues to spread and bakers such as Brooklyn-based Bien Cuit have committed to working with grain purveyors upstate.  Additionally\, since Governor Andrew M. Cuomo has taken office\, craft beverage laws have been amended and new laws have been enacted to encourage value-added products to be made from grains produced or processed in New York. \n  \nUse the code FARMTOCITY for complementary access to the event.

SUMMARY:Food Policy for Breakfast: 80 Years of Federal Food Assistance Policy: Implications for Child Nutrition Reauthorization in Difficult Times
DESCRIPTION:The University of California Press has released a new edition of Jan Poppendieck’s Breadlines Knee Deep in Wheat: Food Assistance in the Great Depression\, this one with a foreword by Marion Nestle and an Epilogue by Poppendieck\, updating the history of federal food assistance.  There are now 15 separate federal food and nutrition programs administered by USDA\, and one in four Americans participates in at least one of these. Last year\, these programs transferred about 100 billion dollars worth of food and food specific purchasing power to low income Americans.  Basically\, the epilogue asks why food assistance has fared so much better than welfare in the United States.   \nAt this session of Food Policy for Breakfast\, Poppendieck will explore the factors that explain this relative success\, and then use this explanation to consider the prospects for Child Nutrition Reauthorization\, now coming up in a Congress in which the GOP controls both houses.  What can we learn from the history of food assistance that can help us prepare to make CNR 2015 a victory for America’s children? \nRepresentatives from NYC for CNR will serve as respondents: \nDavid DeVaughn\, Manager\, Policy & Government Relations\, City Harvest \nClaire Uno\, Assistant Executive Director\, Laurie M. Tisch Center for Food\, Education & Policy\, Teachers College Columbia University\, Program in Nutrition\n \nRead more…
