Sustainable Food Systems
 During Green Week, we mobilized around the social equity issue of access to healthy foods for all communities. And we got lots of support! There are many out there that want access to healthier food systems and believe in the power of healthy living through healthy eating! Sustainable Pratt is continuing to lead the sustainability movement by drafting a local foods procurement policy for Pratt's cafeteria. If you would like to help in this initiative, contact info@sustainablepratt.org Here are just a few of the NYC groups out there....
