Culinary Justice Series: Pt. 1
The pandemic disrupted every aspect of our lives, even more so for those living with food insecurity.
The Impact of Culinary Justice 2021 Nutrition, Covid and Food Access
The pandemic disrupted every aspect of our lives, even more so for those living with food insecurity. While the state and city governments responded by diverting food to emergency food programs many lessons were learned by those on the front lines. Our panel features those who were part of that movement: a community-based nutritionist, a restaurant owner who distributed food, and a state agriculture and market official who administered the NourishNY funding and coordination. With food access as their common concern, they will explore how Covid exposed the fragility of the food system, and how they’ve responded.
