40 Under 40: The Rising Stars in New York City Food Policy (Class of 2018)

The Hunter College New York City Food Policy Center has released its annual class of New York City’s 40 individuals under 40 years old who are working to transform the food system. The Center’s honorees include policymakers, educators, community advocates, farmers and innovators who are making significant strides to create healthier, more sustainable food environments and to use food to promote community and economic development. The 40 under 40 roster reflects the Center’s broad perspective around food policy, specifically that food policies are not simply regulations imposed by governmental bodies; we believe that food policy impacts millions of New Yorkers every day, at home and at work, as well as our surrounding environmental, community and economic ecosystems. An event to honor these individuals will take place on June 7th, 2018.

Small, But Impactful: A Day in the Life of a Food Rescuer

Volunteers for Rescuing Leftover Cuisine Make Big Contributions Through ‘Small’ Deliveries By Claire Anselmo Keady It’s 2:30 p.m. on a Wednesday – Matt Kang, a lead rescuer working with the national nonprofit food rescue organization Rescuing Leftover Cuisine, is on his way to make a pick-up from the cafeteria at AIG, the multinational insurance corporation whose headquarters are at 175 Water Street in lower Manhattan.

Why Isn’t Food Donation the Norm?

Food rescue and recovery efforts seem like a common sense solution to help prevent food waste. Why, then, is it not the norm for restaurants to donate excess food to the hungry at the end of each day? While the standards that must be met when donating food are strict, ensuring no one gets sick from food that is donated, these standards are very similar to those that must be met when serving food for customers. The Bill Emerson Good Samaritan Act of 1996 and state versions of Good Samaritan laws ensure that there are no legal liabilities when donating food as long as food safety and other standards are met. Food businesses can also get enhanced tax deductions from food recovery efforts, saving more money in taxes than if they threw out the food. If this is true, why is food donation not the standard in the restaurant industry?

The Nonprofit Turning Food Scraps Into Meals for the Hungry

Another challenge is to find ways to effectively work with other organizations within the redistribution space. For example, ReThink is careful to divide their planned pick-up map with similarly focused non-profits like Rescuing Leftover Cuisine, which recruits volunteers to transport excess food to shelters nearby. There’s also a good chance they’ll end up making use of food from other New York hunger organizations like the Food Bank and City Harvest.
