- Bronx Food Summit is a day-long event for families aimed at raising awareness, promoting healthy communities and spurring action around food and wellness.

- Flatbush Food Film Forum
- Flatbush Food Film Forum will be playing Grown in Detroit, which follows students at the Ferguson Academy for Young Women, a high school for pregnant teens, as they work in the school's urban garden and learn how to grow nutritious food for their children. "Back to the roots", a simple yet effective solution for a city that has to start all over again... and perhaps a lesson to be learned for the rest of the world.
