Neighborhood Fare | April Hurley

April Hurley, a 2021 Forefront Fellow, reflects on how the policies and recommendations in our toolkit can help the city to support food sovereignty in local, New York City communities.
--
New York City can invest in communities to bring healthy and affordable food to every neighborhood.
New York City’s food system is all around us - from the bodegas that line our street corners to the community gardens where volunteers gather to grow fresh produce. Through food, New Yorkers launch small businesses, build good health, and celebrate our city’s diverse cultures.
In collaboration with the 2022 Forefront Fellows, Urban Design Forum has created new tools that support city and community leaders strengthening community-led food efforts. The tools include a visualization of a Food-Forward neighborhood, an analysis with recommendations and case studies highlighting 8 critical parts of the food system, and the Food-Forward Assessment Tool for community leaders assessing new investments in the food system.
