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.

SUMMARY:Soil to Shelves: Detroit Lessons on Getting Local Supply into Retail Models
DESCRIPTION:Join Detroit and NYC food and agriculture leaders in a “garden side chat”! \n\n\n\n\nThe city of Detroit is known for having a rich\, deep history of urban agriculture\, hyperlocal food access\, and community organizing. With over 2\,200 gardens and farms\, Detroit has been a national leader in leveraging municipal policies to support land stewardship for residents to grow\, foster economic activity\, and build a resilient food/ag system. With the recent launch of the Detroit People’s Food Co-op\, a Black-led community owned grocery store\, there is now yet another critical connection for local gardeners and small businesses to provide healthy\, fresh food into the community while generating revenue. \nIn this chat\, we will dig into a conversation with Detroit city and community food/agriculture leaders on the importance of urban agriculture\, land tenure\, and community power in the city’s food and sustainability plans. We will also hear about current lessons learned in starting and sustaining a community-driven food co-op as well as the opportunities and challenges getting local food supply from urban gardens and onto shelves of the store and what growers and the city leaders should factor in planning for NYC models. We will also include time for Q/A with the speakers as well as breakouts for the audience to discuss their ideas and feedback which will be shared in MOUA’s “Purchasing with Purpose” recommendations to the city.
