About the Brooklyn Food Conference
Food issues hit home for all of Brooklyn–from school lunches, the rise in diabetes, and escalating food costs to immigration, farmers markets and local food challenges and delights, food touches us all.

The BFC is waste free! To help lessen the BFC’s impact on the environment, don’t forget to bring a reusable water bottle and cloth bag to the event. We will also be composting kitchen scraps. Click here to learn more about the BFC’s Zero Waste Challenge.
