This year is an important election year for food.? Now, perhaps like never before, there is immense momentum across the city to address the most pressing food system issues.? Citizens, not-for-profit organizations, local businesses, foundations, and government in recent years have worked to address hunger, improve public health, support regional agriculture, and make the food system fairer.?
