For the 4th year, the Food Systems Network NYC, inspired by the Farmers Almanac, presents the Food Almanac, a singular opportunity for food-active friends and supporters to consider all things food in the new year. A panel, with a rich diversity of food systems perspectives, will speculate on the coming year in food and farm policy and practice. And, as New Yorkers anticipate a new City administration, panel prognostications promise to be particularly exciting and illuminating.
This year, Nevin Cohen, Assistant Professor of Environmental Studies at The New School will moderate an esteemed panel, including: - Dennis Derryck, Professor of Professional Practice, The New School and Founder and President, Corbin Hill Food Project
- Raymond Figueroa, Jr., President, NYC Community Gardening Coalition
- Shira Gans, former Food Policy Analyst for Manhattan Borough President Scott Stringer & Leadership Committee Member and Program Committee Co-Chair, Food Systems Network NYC
- Mark Izeman, Director, New York Urban Program and Senior Attorney, Natural Resources Defense Council
- Diana Robinson, Campaign & Education Coordinator, Food Chain Workers Alliance
- Triada Stampas, Senior Director of Government Relations, Food Bank For New York City

Op-Ed: The Farm Bill Everyone Can Hate
 The House and Senate have each just passed the 2014 Farm Bill, a bill that has been hotly debated for several years. Ed Yowell writes
"If the hallmark of bi-partisan legislation is that everyone can find something in it to hate, then the 2014 Farm Bill is a triumph of bi-partisanship."
