The Food Ed Coalition

The Food Ed Coalition is a diverse group of advocates, program leaders, school community members, and other stakeholders convened by the Tisch Food Center. We work together to support the most vulnerable communities in New York City, and to ensure that all NYC students have access to quality food & nutrition education and sustainably-produced, culturally-responsive, healthy school food.

Meeting Calendar

The Food Ed Coalition convenes for regular meetings hosted by the Tisch Food Center. Our discussions cover a wide-range of topics, including: current events, advocacy efforts, research, member announcements, updates from NYC Schools, and other topics of interest for food and nutrition education providers. We also host work groups, such as a policy committee and a media committee. Our meetings are typically virtual, but occasionally we host in-person events.
