SUMMARY:Transforming the Nation’s Food System: Lessons from the New Deal and Strategies for Today
DESCRIPTION:The Hunter College NYC Food Policy Center\, Roosevelt House and Living New Deal’s NYC Chapter aco-hosted an expert roundtable to explore how federal policy initiatives can spur revitalization of regional agriculture\, better conditions for farm and food-processing workers\, more equitable food distribution\, and improved nutrition for all Americans — measures that recall successful New Deal programs. \nThe trauma of the pandemic alone has not changed the underlying forces that have shaped the nation’s food supply chain over many decades\, narrowly concentrating sources of food production\, processing\, and distribution. The emergency infusion of funding for SNAP benefits\, food pantries\, and charitable hunger-relief programs is abating\, though food insecurity persists widely. \nThis year’s anticipated re-authorization of the federal farm bill is an opportunity to transform the nation’s food system. First enacted during the Great Depression\, this omnibus statute encompasses a host of agricultural programs as well as the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) — the largest source of federal food assistance for low-income Americans. Recent federal actions address food supply-chain insecurity\, support for small farmers\, and SNAP program management. \nMany of these measures resonate with successful initiatives of the New Deal era. These included hunger relief programs in rural and urban areas\, including schools; construction of farm-to-market roads; rural electrification\, facilities for farmer education and agricultural research; and housing for farmer resettlement. New Deal programs funded construction of urban farm market structures\, some of which survive today in New York State and elsewhere. \nThe experts gathered for this roundtable explore current challenges and opportunities and reflect on the legacies of the New Deal for today’s policymakers. Welcoming remarks by Roosevelt House Director Harold Holzer. \nModerator: Jeff Gold is a New York City-based urbanist and editor\, chair of the Metro NY Health Care for All Campaign\, and director of the Institute for Rational Urban Mobility. Gold serves on the NYC Working Group of the Living New Deal. He has coordinated community needs planning sessions with local residents of distressed smaller cities to find solutions to ‘food deserts’ and other serious food supply problems. \nPanelists: \n\nKate MacKenzie is Executive Director of the Mayor’s Office of Food Policy (MOFP) and advises the Mayor on all issues related to food policy and the City’s food system. She leads the City’s Good Food Purchasing commitments\, focused on increasing access to healthy\, sustainable foods for the over 238 million meals and snacks served daily by City agencies\, from public schools to senior centers.\nAnnette Nielsen is the Acting Director of the Hunter College New York City Food Policy Center. Until recently\, she led the New York City office for the New York State Department of Agriculture and Markets. Representing the Department\, she provided a touchpoint for the agricultural and food industries in the greater metropolitan area\, while supporting statewide efforts to build resilient food systems. She is a member of the Policy Committee for the Food Ed Coalition at the Tisch Center for Food\, Education & Policy at Teachers College\, Columbia University\, and the New York Women’s Culinary Alliance.\nJan Poppendieck is a Professor Emerita of Sociology at Hunter College\, a co-founder of the New York City Food Policy Center at Hunter\, and a senior fellow at the CUNY Urban Food Policy Institute at the CUNY School of Public Health and Health Policy. She is the author of Breadlines Knee-Deep in Wheat: Food Assistance in the Great Depression\, Sweet Charity? Emergency Food and the End of Entitlement\, and Free For All: Fixing School Food in America. She serves on the Board of Directors of Community Food Advocates\, and the Advisory Committees of Wellness in the Schools and the Hunter College Welfare Rights Initiative\, and she is a member of the Global Alliance for Food\, Health\, and Social Justice.\nMyron Thurston is the Food Supply Chain Marketing Specialist for Cornell Cooperative Extension of Oneida County and is a Senior Resource Educator in the Cornell System. His most recent position was in Agriculture Economic Development at Cornell Cooperative Extension of Madison County\, and he worked with farmers there to help them prepare for expansion\, diversification\, and financial protection for their agribusinesses. He also served as the head of marketing for two nonprofits in Central New York. Myron grew up on a 100-year-old family dairy farm that milked some 350 cows and farmed on 2\,000 acres in Oneida County\, NY.\n\nWatch the panel discussion HERE.

SUMMARY:Making Progress on Added Sugar: Nutrition Policy After The Pandemic
DESCRIPTION:Making Progress on Added Sugar: Nutrition Policy After The Pandemic\n\n\n\n\nIn partnership with the Center for Science in the Public Interest\n\n\nIn three 30 minute panels we will discuss what progress has been made on added sugar and what still needs to be done. We will also explore how the pandemic has influenced nutrition policy and what to expect going forward.\n\n\n\n\nPanel I: Sugar and Institutions: What’s Been Done\, and What Needs to Be Done  \n  \nTo increase access to and promote consumption of healthier foods and beverages for employees\, program participants\, people in public custody\, students\, and citizens\, state and local governments are increasingly adopting guidelines for the foods and beverages they purchase\, serve\, and sell on public property and through their programs—from the prison commissary to meals served to patients at a public hospital. These policies can play a role in reducing consumption of added sugars. This session will explore the experience of implementing sugar reduction through the NYC food standards\, the NYC Health and Hospitals Healthy Beverage Initiative\, and opportunities to make further progress at the city and state level. \n\nNichola Davis\, MD\, MS\, Vice President\, Chief Population Health Officer at NYC Health + Hospitals \nElizabeth Solomon\, MS\, RD\, Director\, Nutrition Policy & Programs\, NYC DOHMH  \nPam Koch\, EdD\, RD\, Executive Director\, Laurie M. Tisch Center for Food\, Education & Policy\, Program in Nutrition\n\nPanel 2: Pouring Rights Contracts at Public Universities  \nOne way that beverage companies advertise their products is through exclusive marketing agreements with venues and institutions\, known as “pouring rights” contracts (PRCs). Many U.S. universities (including the CUNY system and several SUNY campuses) maintain PRCs with Coca-Cola or Pepsi. Through these multi-year\, multi-million dollar contracts\, universities sell exclusive access to their own students\, allowing beverage companies to push sugar-sweetened beverages on students and promote those products with on-campus advertising in exchange for funds. Such contracts allow the beverage companies to benefit from public resources\, and effectively make universities corporate partners in the sale of unhealthy drinks. Student activists and public health faculty have begun engaging their universities to reconsider their relationships with Big Soda. This panel will discuss considerations and strategies for engaging university leadership around university pouring rights \n\nJen Falbe\, PhD\, Assistant Professor of Nutrition and Human Development\, UC Davis\nRichard Black\, PhD\, Principal\, Quadrant D and former Vice President of Global Nutrition Sciences\, PepsiCo\nKelly Garvey\, Research Assistant at University of California Santa Barbara \n\nPanel 3: (Added) Sugar Warnings at Restaurants  \nReturning to normal after the pandemic also means returning to food environments that normalize extreme consumption of sodium (salt) and added sugars. Too often\, meals sold at chain restaurants approach or exceed the daily limit of sodium or added sugars in a single serving. A bill now pending in NYC Council for a sugar icon modeled on the sodium icon already in use on NYC menu boards\, can help transform food environments by promoting consumer choice and reformulation. How can warnings be designed in a way that centers the needs of New York communities? These communities are disproportionately impacted by diet-related disease\, and have the right access to key information about the unhealthy foods served in the food environments they utilize the most. \nCommunities want successful\, effective warnings that will achieve real gains when it comes to public health. Learn how warning icons can help your community recover to a healthier food system and empower individuals to attain our own goals when it comes to restoring our health. \n\n\n\n\nAviva Musicus\, ScD\, Postdoctoral Research Fellow\, Harvard T.H.

SUMMARY:The Impact of COVID-19 on Restaurants
DESCRIPTION:The Impact of COVID-19 on Restaurants in partnership with Food Tank\n\nThe restaurant industry employs 15.6 million people in the United States. Before COVID-19 restaurants were often overlooked as an integral part of the food system. When COVID-19 hit the United States hundreds of thousands of restaurants were forced to close their doors leaving restaurant workers and owners without incomes. Some restaurants closed their doors permanently but others pivoted and came up with innovative solutions to continue to serve food through COVID. The restaurant industry has been decimated. It’s estimated that around 100\,000 or 1 in 6 restaurants have closed permanently or long-term. But with talk of a vaccine on the forefront many are reimagining a world post-COVID. What will restaurants look like when we return to “normal”?\n\n\n\n\nIn three 30 minute panels we will discuss how COVID-19 has impacted the restaurant industry and what can be done to save restaurants.\n\n\n\n\nPanel 1: What Is the Role of Restaurants in the Food System? \n\nCamilla Marcus\, Founding Member\, Independent Restaurant Coalition and Co-founder of the Relief Opportunities for All Restaurants\nNaama Tamir\, Co-owner of Lighthouse and Lighthouse Outpost\n\nPanel 2: The Pivot. Working Through COVID-19. \n\nJJ Johnson\, Owner\, FIELDTRIP\nTom Colicchio\, Founder\, Crafted Hospitality\n\nPanel 3: What’s Next for Restaurants Post-COVID? \n\nAndrew Rigie\, Executive Director\, NYC Hospitality Alliance\nSalil Metah\, Chef and Owner\, Laut Singapura Restaurant\n\nModerated by: \n\nDanielle Nierenberg\, MS\, President and Co-Founder\, Food Tank\nCharles Platkin\, PhD\, JD\, MPH\, Executive Director\, Hunter College NYC Food Policy Center\n\nThis event will be conducted via Streamyard live and streamed all Food Tank and Food Policy Center channels (Twitter\, Facebook\, LinkedIn and YouTube). \n\nHOW TO WATCH \nTune in Live On ANY of these channels:  \nFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/NYCFoodPolicy/ \nYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uywLh5oSKfs \nTwitter: https://twitter.com/NYCFoodPolicy

SUMMARY:NY Food 20/20: Visions\, Research\, and Recommendations for Food Systems During COVID-19 and Beyond
DESCRIPTION:NY Food 20/20: Visions\, Research\, and Recommendations for Food Systems During COVID-19 and Beyond \nJoin NYC’s Three Leading Food Policy Centers \nCUNY Urban Food Policy Institute\nHunter College New York City Food Policy Center\nLaurie M. Tisch Center for Food\, Education & Policy \nOn September 30th\, join the Hunter College NYC Food Policy Center in collaboration with the CUNY Urban Food Policy Institute and the Laurie M. Tisch Center for Food\, Education & Policy at Columbia University\, for a jointly-organized online public forum “NY Food 20/20: Visions\, Research and Recommendations for Food Systems During COVID-19 and Beyond.” \nThe three academic institutions\, which are leading food policy research centers in New York City\, have joined forces to monitor and assess New York City’s food system response to COVID-19 over the next 18 months and produce the first independent assessment of the effects of COVID-19 on our food system and an assessment of the many public and private responses. \nIn this first panel discussion of NY Food 20/20\, the Centers will begin to examine the effects of the first six months of the COVID-19 pandemic and its economic consequences on New York’s food system and the health and wellbeing of New Yorkers. The Centers will also discuss the creation and early implementation of some of the City’s responses to COVID-19 related food system changes. \nPanelists will discuss the concrete actions that public officials and agencies\, civil society groups and others can take with a focus on how to minimize the harms and maximize the opportunities to address the underlying problems the pandemic has exacerbated. They will identify possible steps New York City can take to minimize the inequitable distribution of burdens of the pandemic by socioeconomic status and race/ethnicity. Finally\, speakers will suggest strategies to enable New York City’s food system to respond to a possible resurgence of the epidemic in the coming months or to new opportunities to open and rebuild the City. \nThis panel will be held as a zoom webinar.
