What problem would you like to solve?
We need to expand access to fresh and locally grown food in the Bronx.
Why is it important to solve? Why is it relevant for the community?
This is important because the Bronx has one of the highest rates of diabetes. Diabetes is a lifestyle disease that is impacted by diet, so we need better programs to help people with their diets.
What idea do you have to address the problem?
We should fund and expand access to the healthbucks program (or a similar program) that will increase people's purchasing power to buy fresh fruits and vegetables.
Who would that help?
This will help all residents of the Bronx to be healthier and to have agency over their health.
What NYC borough would benefit from your idea?
Bronx.
