The City Food Policy Project (CFP Project) is co-hosting an event titled "The Climate Crisis and Cities: The Role of Regional Food Policy" scheduled for 24th September from 9:30 to 15:30 EDT in the margins of the Climate Week NYC 2024.

Cities have many tools they can leverage to meet their climate and sustainability goals, including values-based food procurement. Using this strategy, cities develop buying strategies that embed key values thought to be aligned with achieving climate and sustainability goals. Within this context, this event aims to explore what cities are doing to support values-based food procurement and the impact of these strategies.

The CFP Project will host three panels featuring government officials, development organizations, advocates, and researchers doing pioneering work:

Panel 1: Think Locally, Act Regionally: NYC’s Regional Approach to Local Food Policy: This panel will spotlight how New York City and State are strategically collaborating with regional partners to support a sustainable, healthful, and resilient food system.
Panel 2: The Research-Policy Integration / Feedback Loop: The goals of this session are to: 1) Understand ways in which researchers and decision makers can work together more effectively; 2) Improve coordination across researchers and disciplines to support NYC’s food policy-making; and 3) Discuss what we know about the ability of food policies to meet NYC’s climate goals and where gaps remain.
Panel 3: Understanding the Role of City Food Policy at a Global Level: How can lessons from regional success be translated across continents? What are unique assets in different parts of the world that can inform and benefit other cities and regions? While every region has different priorities, this panel will bring together learnings, challenges, and principles for success from representatives across Africa, the United States, Europe, and Latin America.

Between the three panels, CFP Project is hosting two networking sessions to offer a space for meeting fellow rural and urban stakeholders engaged in food governance, policymaking, innovation, sustainable food procurement, and supply chains.
