The Myrtle Avenue Revitalization Project, LDC (MARP) has released a comprehensive Community Food Assessment (CFA) titled Get Fresh! Food access, food justice and collective action in Fort Greene & Clinton Hill, a report researched and created in collaboration with local residents and food advocates. MARP will host a CFA release celebration on Thursday, March 15th 5:30-7:30PM at Child Development Support Corporation (CDSC) where residents can learn more and find out how to get involved. The report serves as a “snapshot” of the local food environment in Fort Greene and Clinton Hill, and will inform community-led efforts to improve access to fresh food, create opportunities for nutritional awareness and education, and strengthen advocacy efforts.
The Fort Greene-Clinton Hill Community Food Council Steering committee has chosen 10 of the 29 recommendations for new projects identified in the report as priority projects for 2012. Members of the Steering Committee will be there to tell you about the projects, give you an opportunity to ask questions, and sign-up to take action!
The event will also feature the CDSC Hydroponic Farm! Come take a tour and enjoy some salad made fresh from the farm. Appetizers and Michael Allen desserts courtesy of Fresh Fanatic will also be available.
