As we reflect on 2023, we wanted to share some of our learnings, growth, and celebratory moments during this year of transition. Here’s a look at what we’ve accomplished.
Early November, the inaugural BIPOC PRx Cohort gathered in Chicago with representatives from Corbin Hill Food Project, Buffalo Go Green Inc, Hmong American Farmers Association, and La Semilla Food Center. The BIPOC PRx Cohort is a collaboration of Wholesome Wave and Daisa Enterprises to better understand the impact of Black, Indigenous, and other People of Color (BIPOC) leadership in the Food is Medicine (FIM) field.
The Corbin Hill Food Project team toured the Bronx-based Mi Oh My Farms, a worker-owned hydroponic farm cooperative and educational organization “dedicated to powering a local economy that can provide alternative means of buying food and earning income”, and part of the educational aspect of the organization is teaching folx how to do this from their own apartments and spaces. Visiting the farm is proof that it is possible.
Corbin Hill Food Project testified at the Oversight Hearing on Food Insecurity in New York City on April 19, 2023 before the NYC Council Committee on General Welfare and Council Committee on Aging, and NYC Council SubCommittee on Senior Centers and Food Insecurity. Corbin Hill Food Project advocated for large and sufficient investments in organizations’ infrastructure and capacity building to create long term solutions to address food insecurity, rather than unsustainable, grant cycle-dependent programs.
