Foodprint NYC is the first in a series of international conversations about food and the city. From a cluster analysis of bodega inventories to the cultural impact of the ice-box, and from food deserts to peak phosphorus, panelists will examine the hidden corsetry that gives shape to urban foodscapes, and collaboratively speculate on how to feed New York in the future. The free afternoon program will include designers, policy-makers, flavor scientists, culinary historians, food retailers, and others, for a wide-ranging discussion of New York’s food systems, past and present, as well as opportunities to transform our edible landscape through technology, architecture, legislation, and education.

Speakers include:
• Joel Berg: Executive Director, New York City Coalition Against Hunger
• Makalé Faber Cullen: cultural anthropologist; former Program Director, Slow Food USA
• Stanley Fleishman: CEO, Jetro
• Thomas Forster: policy advisor, School Food FOCUS; co-chair, Food Systems Network of New York City
• Joseph Grima: Director, Storefront for Art and Architecture; co-architect, Landgrab City installation

• Annie Hauck-Lawson: President, Association for the Study of Food and Society
