Scandinavia House – Volvo Hall
58 Park Avenue, New York, NY, USA
Kate MacKenzie is the Executive Director of NYC Mayor’s Office of Food Policy. Kate advises the Mayor on all issues related to food policy and the City’s food system. She released Food Forward NYC, which lays out a comprehensive policy framework to reach a more equitable, sustainable, and healthy food system by 2031.
On June 16, join the 2021 Forefront Fellows to strategize how every New Yorker can access healthy, fresh, and culturally appropriate food.
Food promotes cultural traditions, impacts health, and is the fabric of our neighborhoods. However, too many New Yorkers cannot meet their basic food needs. We must invest in neighborhood infrastructure that supports a thriving, equitable food system for all New Yorkers.
Over the past year, Forefront Fellows worked to develop a vision for neighborhood food equity. Fellows will debut their original projects, including a toolkit developed in collaboration with the Department of City Planning and Mayor’s Office of Food Policy. After presentations, Kate MacKenzie will share keynote reflections on the City’s ambitious food policy agenda.
