We would like to thank New York City's Food Policy Coordinator Benjamin Thomases, New York City Council, the Food Bank for New York City, and the Gerald J. and Dorothy R.

SuperMkt_NewYork_F:Supermkt broch revised 4/18/08 2:44 PM Page 3 FOOD FOR EVERY CHILD The Need for More Supermarkets in New York EXECUTIVE SUMMARY New York City must address the significant and growing need for supermarkets and food resources in its neighborhoods. Food retailers and public sector development agencies have, in essence, redlined lower-income communities, failing to aggressively combat the factors that have led supermarkets to disinvest from these neighborhoods. The Food Trust researched and wrote “Food for Every Child” to ensure that all children live in communities that have access to safe, healthy and affordable food. A key goal of this initiative is to stimulate the development of supermarkets in lower-income neighborhoods. New York City is not exceptional in terms of the characteristics or poverty status of its residents when compared to other large urban areas, yet despite a growing population, there are one-third fewer supermarkets in New York's five boroughs today than there were six years ago.1 There is a pressing need for more affordable, nutritious food in many neighborhoods.
