In this meeting of the Healthy Food for Upper Manhattan Work Group, we featured a special panel presentation focused on the rezoning process and its implications for the food environment in Upper Manhattan. Attendees and presenters engaged in a timely conversation on the potential impact of rezoning, shared program updates and discussed how to get involved.
June 2015
In this second meeting of the Healthy Food for Upper Manhattan Work Group we seek to explore the opportunities for youth to become involved with food programs (e.g. Gardening, Farmer’s Markets, Food Education) to further discourage criminal activities. What are some potential partnerships community groups can explore to support this cause?
