Learning first hand about New York’s food and farming system was a unique educational experience for visiting government officials and civil society groups from around the world last year at the United Nations.
International Partners for Sustainable Agriculture and a wide range of New York partners are preparing to greet them again in February and May of 2009 as policy discussions about the future direction of food and agriculture kick into high gear.
A few of the groups working towards CSD in 2009:
- East New York Farms!
- Just Food
- Heifer International
- Council on the Environment of New York City
- Food Systems Network NYC
- World Hunger Year
- Brooklyn Rescue Mission
- Hattie Carthan community garden
