Key Features Uniqueness due to diversity of end consumers in food preferences and of retailers in size and scale Important and growing contributor to the City’s economy and workforce Critical asset in driving citywide health and well-being
Vulnerabilities to weather events and other disruptions Very real, but full extent unknown Not entirely in City’s control, given regional nature of the food supply chain
New York City Food Supply Chain
NEW YORK CITY ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION 11
The key questions of this Study should be approached considering the following lenses: Food system resiliency Economic development Employment Emergency planning Food policy priorities
Food Supply Study Lenses
NEW YORK CITY ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION 12
1. Comprehensive database of quantitative and qualitative information on the food supply chain that will provide the City with a base for future planning needs 2. GIS mapping of critical information including the location of key assets, routes, and subsectors, and socioeconomic conditions across the City 3. Recommendations report on how to improve food system resiliency from a physical and an economic perspective
Study Deliverables
NEW YORK CITY ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION 13
Specific Tasks
Task Key questions Deliverables
Research and document a detailed, foundational knowledge base on the
NYC region’s food distribution system
What does the food supply chain look like in NYC? Where are the key distribution centers? What are the key trends in the NYC food supply chain? What are the primary resiliency risks and considerations
within the system? How can the food supply chain be improved to ensure a
more efficient food system that meets key public values?
Comprehensive database of qualitative and quantitative information (likely Powerpoint and supporting Excel database)
Map and analyze the City’s food supply and distribution value chain
Where are key assets, routes, and food subsectors located in the City?
What quantities of food or food-related products pass through specific hubs?
Which transportation routes are critical for the city’s food system?
Visualization of data provided in part 1; may include Citywide- and community-level flowcharts and neighborhood asset mapping
Make recommendations to improve food
distribution systems for physical and economic
resiliency and economic development
Are there certain system components that, if they stopped functioning, could limit the distribution of food?
Are inherent redundancies sufficient to pick up slack? How can the City use this knowledge to reduce / prevent
supply chain disruption? How can the City ensure food access for vulnerable
populations in the event of a disruption? What future trends may impact these recommendations?
