The Mayor’s Office of Food Policy and NYC Health Department increased access to healthy, culturally appropriate, affordable, and low-carbon foods for the NYC Department of Corrections incarcerated population, while positioning city food workers to improve their skills and advance their careers via a plant-based culinary training and certification program.

Output: 

• Culinary Training Impact Report detailing the project’s emission reductions and outcomes.
• Launch of Center for Environment, Health, and Food Service (CHEFS) to serve as a resource hub for best practices in food service for City agencies and across NYC’s food service sector. CHEFS is designed to be a transformative initiative that will advance a more delicious, healthy, sustainable, and just food service across City agencies, nonprofit partners, and the private sector.
