Food Solutions Summit
Tuesday, September 22, 2026
9:00 AM – 12:30 PM ET
Civic Hall
124 E 14th Street
New York, NY 10003
Please join us for a Climate Week NYC 2026 funder and field convening on food and agriculture as one of the most underleveraged pathways for climate, health, biodiversity, and community resilience.
Too often, food and agriculture are treated as niche issues — separate from climate, public health, biodiversity, economic transition, rural resilience and democracy. But the food system sits at the center of all of them.
This half-day convening will bring together farmers, fishers, frontline organizers, scientists, policymakers, journalists, funders and investors, and other leaders to explore what becomes possible when food systems are designed to regenerate rather than extract — rebuilding soil, advancing climate resilience and adaptation, protecting health, strengthening rural communities, restoring biodiversity, and renewing public trust.

Better Values, Better Seafood
Toward a people-centered seafood system at the height of an industrial blue rush
The corporate domination of our land-based food and farm system is rapidly taking over the seas. Big industry may promote ‘blue foods’ and pay-to-play sustainability claims, but a more deeply anchored seafood system is poised for investment that delivers returns for communities, local economies and nature herself. Come hear from a growing movement of independent and ecological-scale fisherpeople, aquafarmers and cultural water stewards — and a delicious campaign to connect them with consumers!
