Interested in food justice, youth empowerment, or sustainability?

In case you have been inspired by the Living Concrete/Carrot City exhibition now showing in the Lobby of 2 W 13th Street (if you don't know what I'm talking about, you are missing a fantastic opportunity to see some existing examples of "future measures" for NYC) -- then this event might be for you:

This weekend is the Red Hook Harvest Festival, and it could be a great place to learn about the relationship between food and social justice. The Red Hook Community Farm was started years ago in order to provide healthy food options in a community that did not at the time have a grocery store at all. (Now Red Hook is home to one of the city's Fairway Markets). The history of the organization as well as its programming may provide inspiration to some of you.
