\nLast year, Michael Pollan\u00a0raised<\/a>\u00a0the question of \u201cwhether or not there is a \u2018food movement\u2019 in America worthy of the name \u2014 that is, an organized force in our politics capable of demanding change in the food system.\u201d He wrote this in regard to Prop 37 in California\u2014a battle the food movement did not win\u2014though NRDC\u00a0supported<\/a>\u00a0the initiative.
\nBut here in New York City, food activists are beginning to show some real political muscle\u2014including getting involved in NYC mayor\u2019s race. This past summer, six of the then-candidates came together for the first-ever Mayoral Forum on Food. The moderator, NYU professor and longtime food movement leader,\u00a0Marion Nestle<\/a>, asked candidates to tackle issues of hunger, infrastructure, and sustainability. More than 2000 people attended the forum\u2014showing the growing strength of the movement. For a summary of that fantastic event, be sure to check out Johanna Dyer\u2019s\u00a0blog<\/a>.
\nThen, yesterday, City Council members held a hearing on the status of the New York City food system. Speaker Christine Quinn\u2019s office recently released an\u00a0update<\/a>\u00a0to her forward-thinking 2010\u00a0FoodWorks<\/a>\u00a0report and the related\u00a0food legislation<\/a>\u00a0from summer 2011. The purpose of the hearing was to better understand the progress we\u2019ve made in recent years and to see where we still have work to do.\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
