Hi everyone, I just received this information and it looks very interesting. NY City government is taking an interest in the food movement and sustainability.

Via NY1.“As part of Quinn’s so-called Foodworks Initiative, the Council Speaker plans to unveil legislation that would require city agencies to track how much locally-grown food they buy for prisons, senior centers and schools, to name a few.

“It’s good to buy high-quality food but it’s better to buy high quality food from New York State because then you’re not destroying the environment driving it here thousands of miles,” Quinn said.”

This is an event open to the public but requires an RSVP:
