Many people have never heard of New York City’s largest open space: Jamaica Bay. Jamaica Bay’s distinctive makeup includes salt marsh, upland field and woods, fresh and brackish ponds and expansive bay, making it one the most important avian sanctuaries in the Northeastern United States.

More people have access to a sufficient quantity of affordable, nutritious food around the world today than ten years ago. The UN Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) estimates that the number of undernourished people has fallen by approximately 167 million during that period. This improvement is cause for celebration but there is still much to be done: almost 800 million – just over one in nine people on the planet – still remain hungry. Issues like climate change, population growth, political instability, inadequate infrastructure and R&D investment, and global economic uncertainty also exist, threatening to undo the hard won progress that has been made on global food security.
