The Bronx River Foodway Team, comprised of community-based and agency stakeholders, organizers, and advocates, guides the planning and activation of the Bronx River Foodway, an edible food forest inside Concrete Plant Park. The team serves as a standing community and technical advisory committee, providing a unique and consistent forum for dialogue about the design, implementation and priorities for the Foodway. The team is also committed to activating the Foodway and promoting its use. Team members play a critical role in planning and executing events that bring people to the Foodway to steward the land, learn, forage, and connect with eachother.
