In response to COVID-19, The Common Market, a nonprofit regional food distributor, partnered with city government agencies across three major metropolitan areas— Atlanta, Baltimore, and New York City—to help them meet the emergent food access needs of their most vulnerable constituents through a Farm-Fresh Box Program.   The Johns Hopkins Center for a Livable Future’s Food Policy Networks project and The Common Market invite you to join a conversation with food policy directors and city leaders from Atlanta, Baltimore, and New York City to reflect on their food access programming; key learnings coming out of the pandemic; future crisis planning and approach; and policy recommendations in support of fair, vibrant regional food systems. Facilitator:   Rachel Terry National Partnerships Director with The Common Market         Panelists:     Luisa F. Cardona de Vence Deputy Director of Welcoming Atlanta       Holly Freishtat Food Policy Director and Chief of Food Policy & Planning Division with the City of Baltimore     Kate MacKenzie Executive Director of New York City’s Mayor’s Office of Food Policy     This webinar will be recorded and posted to YouTube following the discussion.
