The Forum

The mission of the Forum Committee of The City Gardens Club of New York City is to present annual educational forums on important environmental topics to a wide audience including CGC members and the general public.

On Thursday, January 18th, we held our 17th annual forum  “We Are What We Eat – Embracing a Healthy Food System” at The Brick Presbyterian Church in the City of New York and online. Our panelists discussed how our current food system evolved, organic farming, the challenges of  “big ag”, and the marketing of fresh produce.
