What problem would you like to solve?
Food deserts and Childhood Obesity/Malnourishment
Why is it important to solve? Why is it relevant for the community?
Too many people in the Bronx do not have any access to nourishing food.
What idea do you have to address the problem?
Have schools partner with meal prep companies (e.g. Hello Fresh, Yumble, etc..) and farms to make sure the food being served in schools are fresh and nutritious. Have cooking and nutrition programs in all schools and community centers, so kids and adults can learn the benefits of having a healthy diet. Host more farmers markets in food desert areas; especially work with farmers of color. Create more incentives to get more grocery stores/ supermarkets in these impoverished neighborhoods, so people don't have to get on public transportation to get food. Make it mandatory that all grocery stores/ supermarkets can't waste food, and should donate the food that reaches the \"Best if Used By/Before/Sell By\" to food pantries.
Who would that help?
Kids and adults in poverty.
What neighborhood would benefit from your idea?
Most neighborhood in the Bronx
