Hunt’s Point, NY, is a food desert, a title bestowed to places that lack healthy food options. They are instead saturated with high-fat and high-sugar food options; offering cheap belly fixes for low-income consumers. How might we create a space where teens can take initiative to change this current situation?
We are designing a comprehensive system that unites these three key strategies: Partnerships to form a long-term commitment between community, research, and industry; Community Outreach - the program’s events will attract donors, media and other supporters; Skills Development prepares teens to become culinary visionaries.
