Food Service

On 3/31/2020, Hunter's NYC Food Policy Center hosted this online public program. 

COVID-19 is rapidly changing life in New York City and across the world. This panel conversation discusses what needs to happen in NYC to protect our food system, farmers and local food-related business owners and to ensure that our most vulnerable populations have access to nutritious food during this challenging time.

Panelists:

  • Joel Berg, CEO, Hunger Free America
  • Commissioner Grace Bonilla, JD, Administrator, Human Resources Administration
  • Michael Hurwitz, Director, Greenmarket, GrowNYC
  • Kate MacKenzie, Director, Mayor’s Office of Food Policy (tentative)
  • Bryan Moran, Director, DevOps, City Harvest
  • Karen Washington, Owner, Rise and Root Farmer

Moderated by Charles Platkin, PhD, JD, MPH and Alexina Cather, MPH
