Because a Mayor who understands the importance of food is critical to achieving a healthier, fairer, more sustainable, and economically stronger food system, several of the city’s leading food systems organizations and institutions, including Slow Food NYC, are sponsoring a Mayoral candidate forum on the future of food in New York City.
Now, due to overwhelming demand to attend, the event will be livestreamed. View the livestream at:

The Mayoral Candidate Forum on the Future of Food in NYC is aimed at getting mayoral candidates to explain how they would ensure that the City has a healthier, fairer, more sustainable, more affordable, and economically stronger food system. Immediately before the forum, a youth and community Town Hall event is taking place and participants will attend the forum.
