Upper Green Side

For those involved or interested in sustainable urban food policy, there is a free afternoon program called Foodprint NYC tomorrow, Saturday, February 27th, with four sessions and a plethora of panelists exploring different facets of urban foodscapes. The first session starts at 1 p.m., at Studio-X (180 Varick St., Suite 1610, New York, NY 10014).

While the economic, cultural and cartographical aspects of urban food history and planning are important as well, greenies might be most interested in the last session, discussing opportunities and challenges of New York City’s possible food futures. From their description, I’m almost certain it will include discussion of peak phosphorus, a clear environmental concern, and possibly more exciting than peak helium.
