Vision

We envision a New York City where fresh, nutritious food is ensured as a basic human right. Where our foodshed is protected and local farmers prosper. Where all have access to places to gather and grow. Where we handle our waste responsibly. And where all New Yorkers, especially those with frontline identities*, are empowered to enact their vision of a thriving community. *“Frontline identities” includes but is not limited to BIPOC, queer, those with disabilities, and new immigrants

Goals

1. 1.We aim to increase access to fresh, locally-grown food in New York City, enable New Yorkers to reduce and divert waste responsibly, and build and maintain community gardens throughout NYC.
2. 2.We aim to raise awareness for the importance of nutritious eating, waste diversion, and use of green space as core tenets of a New York City lifestyle that fosters environmental consciousness.
3. 3.We aim to provide assistance to aspiring farmers and existing Greenmarket producers to start and run successful farm businesses that build a more just, resilient, and sustainable regional foodshed.
