[SOLVED] NYC Food Policy
Identify an issue related to NYC food policy, using a very specific and local lens. Currently NYC is divided into 59 communities, each containing its own distinct anddiverse food related issues. SeeFoodscapes and the Neighborhood Food ResourceGuides: https://www.nycfoodpolicy.org/nyc-foodscapes-community/https://www.nycfoodpolicy.org/coronavirus-nyc-food-reports/- pick one of these communities that is considered underserved and/or marginalized. Next, you will pick a specific food-related problem and/or policy concernand/or innovation related to food insecurity, hunger, food justice, and/or diet-related disease. These are just some of the many possible topics, but certainly not a complete list: restaurant warning labels, funding for community gardens,SNAP for online purchases, free school meals for all students, urban farming at NYCHA, calorie menu labeling, healthier food in hospitals, etc.-Background: Set the scene of the problem you will be addressing. Introduce thesetting and community affected.? Answer the initial questions: who, what, where, how, why? What is the cause of the problem? Where is the origin of the problem?Do the research: the causes to the problem are not alwaysfood-related. The causes can be financial, educational, political,etc.-Local Concerns and Impact: You will be discussing how this concern impactsNew York City and the specific community affected.? What do residents think of the problem/topic?? What do residents want policymakers to do to address this problem?? How many residents are affected by this problem, and to what extent?? Citing statistics as well as anecdotal evidence (experiences told by NewYorkers themselves) gives the audience a sense of how severe the issueis.-Policies and Efforts in Place: Explore the work that has already been done toaddress the problem, and give credit to the groups/people who did this work.? This includes both legislative policies that are in place in NYC, as well ascommunity service based efforts.? How successful have these efforts been? Do residents appreciate theseefforts?- References: You should cite (AMA style citation) at least 10 academic sources(Google Scholar, Hunters Database, and PubMed) and 4 secondarysources (New York Times, NPR, any .gov websites, if youre unsure let usknow).?For ALL ACADEMIC SOURCES, you must download and find theFULL study — you cannot use only the abstract.?
