Published Research Innovative Partnership for Public Health: An Evaluation of the New York City Green Cart Initiative to Expand Access to Healthy Produce in Low-Income Neighborhoods Ester R. Fuchs and Sarah M. Holloway Columbia University, June 2014 Funded by the Laurie M. Tisch Illumination Fund The NYC Green Cart initiative is a street-vending strategy that aims to change the NYC food landscape, ​ ​ expand economic opportunity, and promote healthy behavior by increasing the availability of fresh produce in areas where access is limited. The initiative was introduced in 2008 by the Mayor’s Office of Food Policy and the New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH). Green Carts is part of a ​ ​ SARAH M. HOLLOWAY 85 East End Avenue, New York, NY 10028 [email protected] broader City strategy to confront the epidemic levels of diet-related disease in New York City’s low-income communities. About the Study: In mid-2013, the Laurie M. Tisch Illumination Fund engaged faculty at Columbia SIPA to independently analyze the effectiveness of Green Carts in improving access to fresh fruits and vegetables for low-income New Yorkers; assess the economic viability of Green Carts as small businesses; and consider the role of philanthropy in promoting and supporting innovative public policy. Led by Professors Fuchs and Holloway, the research team developed a conceptual model and research plan to determine whether Green Carts was meeting its goals. The research team developed its own evaluation model and research design and collected extensive primary data on neighborhood characteristics, vendor locations and business practices, and customer behavior. An 11-person team of students spent three months locating and interviewing Green Carts vendors (July-September 2013). Interviews were conducted in English, Spanish, and Bengali. A sample of customers was interviewed in November 2013. The customer sample survey was designed to capture any differences among Green Cart customers based on location in the core or periphery of the designated areas. Elite interviews were also conducted with key stakeholders.
