Food Education 

In 2023, we launched a Food Education Roadmap in support of our work with the Food Standards and our mission to promote a culture of healthy eating. We envision a future in which all New York City students develop a culture of healthy eating, wellness, and lifelong habits through access to healthy food, food education, experiential learning, and community involvement. A comprehensive approach to food education teaches students about the food system itself--the production, processing, distribution, retail, consumption, and post-consumption of food--and how each component interacts with the environment, economy, community, and more. Students in turn learn to make food decisions that build a more equitable, sustainable, and resilient New York City.
