**This program is hosted by our partner, Community Food Funders (CFF), who has extended an invitation to PNY members. Space is limited and will be granted on a first come, first served basis.*
During the early stages of the pandemic in Spring 2020, CFF held weekly funder calls to help coordinate and share information about the philanthropic response across New York State. It quickly became clear that with so much attention being paid to the immediate crisis, no entity had the bandwidth or mandate to collect data and analyze both the impact of COVID-19 on hunger and food systems, and the effectiveness of the relief being rolled out by the government and nonprofit sectors. In response, a number of foundations pooled their resources to collectively fund three of New York’s leading food policy research centers to conduct this study.
The NY Food 20/20 Project is a collaboration of food policy researchers from the Hunter College NYC Food Policy Center; the Laurie M. Tisch Center for Food, Education, and Policy; and the CUNY Urban Food Policy Institute. Their goal is to provide evidence to help New York City and State policymakers, health professionals, activists, community organizations, food businesses, and residents rebuild a more resilient and equitable local food system following the COVID-19 pandemic. The Phase 1 report was published last fall, and they are currently engaged in a Phase 2 study. Join this session to learn how this project came together and the initial findings.
