During spring 2017, residents of Mount Eden and the surrounding neighborhoods attended community member-led meetings as part of a group called Stirring Up Community Change to learn more about how food impacts us both as individuals and as a community, and what actions we can take to make sure our local food system reflects the culture, dignity, and desires of Bronx residents.
