Earth Day is this week, on Wednesday, April 22. From my vantage point, two of the most impactful forces shaping the health of our planet are converging\u2014the climate crisis and urbanization\u2014and it\u2019s up to us whether it\u2019ll be a cataclysmic collision or a chance to collaborate on change.<\/p>\n

We\u2019ve just lived through the\u00a0three hottest years ever on record<\/a>: 2023, \u201824, and \u201825. Ocean temps were\u00a0higher than ever<\/a>\u00a0last year. And the global population is not only growing but getting more dense: According to United Nations data, close to\u00a070 percent<\/a>\u00a0of the world\u2019s population will live in cities by 2030.<\/p>\n

What does this mean?\u00a0In my view, this cements the power\u2014and the responsibility!\u2014of local food and ag systems to lead the charge toward more sustainability and climate resilience on a global scale.<\/p>\n

\u201cWith bold investments and good planning and design, cities offer immense opportunities to slash greenhouse gas emissions, adapt to the effects of climate change, and sustainably support urban populations,\u201d says\u00a0Ant\u00f3nio Guterres<\/a>, Secretary-General of the U.N.<\/p>\n

Through efforts like the\u00a0Milan Urban Food Policy Pact\u00a0(MUFPP)\u2014signed by more than 330 cities worldwide\u2014local leaders can share knowledge and experiences in strengthening equitable food systems. Earlier this year, I had the honor of emceeing a MUFPP Regional Forum, and the collective food system power we have in each of our communities is electric and unbelievably inspiring.<\/p>\n

Already, so many municipalities and local governments and advocates are stepping up to the plate, which is amazing to see and learn from. This Earth Day, I want to highlight some success stories that are turning cities into sites of big-picture transformation:<\/p>\n

On the subject of procurement:\u00a0Last year, Seoul, South Korea launched a new\u00a0Climate-Friendly Meal Service<\/a>\u00a0initiative to expand nutrition education for students and improve the sustainability of food grown for the country\u2019s universal school meals.<\/p>\n

\u201cBecause school meals are universal and publicly funded, they embody social equity, while simultaneously shaping demand for eco-friendly and local agricultural products,\u201d says Seulgi Son, a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at Yonsei University.<\/p>\n

New York City is prioritizing plant-based meals<\/a>\u00a0in public institutions such as schools, where students participate in Meatless Mondays and\u00a0have \u201cplant-powered\u201d options<\/a>, and hospitals, where vegetarian options are default. In just the first year of this transition, the city reported a 36 percent reduction in carbon emissions!<\/p>\n

When it comes to fighting food waste:\u00a0Milan, Italy, has launched an\u00a0award-winning food waste hub<\/a>\u00a0model to help the country halve food waste by 2030 by facilitating food recovery and distribution, and\u00a0each of five hubs<\/i>\u00a0within the model have recovered the equivalent of over\u00a0260,000<\/a>\u00a0meals per year.<\/p>\n

Or, take Baltimore, where the Baltimore Zero Waste Coalition<\/a>\u00a0is dedicated to promoting waste diversion practices that minimize landfill or incineration use and maximize recovery work through education, collaboration, and advocacy. Meanwhile, the city is also focusing on better managing the waste that does occur. The city\u2019s Department of Public Works adopted a 10-Year Solid Waste Management Plan in 2024, aimed at increasing organics recycling and promoting backyard and community composting.<\/p>\n

And cities can also vitally support farmers and food production:\u00a0In Brazil, S\u00e3o Paulo\u2019s\u00a0Connect the Dots program<\/a>\u00a0brings together urban buyers for organic produce, helps train the family farms growing those crops in more sustainable practices, and safeguards farms and forests from urban development.<\/p>\n

In Xochimilco, in Mexico City, researchers, farmers, and government entities have partnered to\u00a0create a sustainable certification program<\/a>\u00a0that has\u00a0helped<\/a>\u00a0to restore 40+ floating farms, protect endangered axolotls, and connect producers to premium markets while improving local livelihoods.<\/p>\n

And across the world in Kenya, we\u2019re seeing action on the county level, too. Several Kenyan counties have adopted policies to expand agroecological production and help farmers access markets.<\/p>\n

As\u00a0U.N. Habitat analysts write<\/a>,\u00a0\u201cWhile the overlapping challenges of environmental stress and rapid urbanization are uniquely daunting, it is precisely this intersection that makes urban climate action so opportune.\u201d<\/p>\n

If cities or other local governments where you live are taking bold action on food systems and climate, share their stories.\u00a0And if your city is not doing its part, then it\u2019s time for us as citizen eaters to use Earth Day as an opportunity to push for change!\u00a0Reach out to your local elected officials and community advocates this week to share these success stories from other cities. And do reach out to me via email too, to let me know how Food Tank can use our resources to help.<\/p>\n
