Holly Freishtat: Baltimore's First Food Czar Bringing Healthy Options To Low-Income Neighborhoods

Baltimore's First Food Czar Bringing Fresh Options To Low-Income 'Food Deserts'

The appointment of Holly Freishtat as Charm City's food policy director should be a lesson to other cities, [...] tasked with coordinating and implementing a comprehensive food policy for the city from her eighth floor offices in a drab, grime-covered building near City Hall. Her task is to promote farmers' markets and community supported agriculture, foster urban agriculture with new zoning to increase food production within the city, and better market and educate consumers about healthy foods.
