Produce Access in Food Deserts

Avatar: Community Member Community Member

What problem would you like to solve?

People who live in food deserts lack access to fresh food

Why is it important to solve? Why is it relevant for the community?

Everybody needs to eat, and food is often expensive and inaccessible

What idea do you have to address the problem?

Free food deliveries from CSAs/farmshares for people living in food deserts, paid for by the city

Who would that help?

Anyone without reliable food access, the farms themselves

What NYC borough would benefit from your idea?

any
