Toni provides the guiding vision for the
FOCUS team, networking with stakeholders and other change leaders to build
collaborative partnerships. Her work today stems from her successful
transformation of children�s food options in the New York City school system.
She is a public health nutrition scholar as well as a skilled, experienced
facilitator of large-scale institutional change across a variety of sectors.
More than a decade ago, she developed the CookShop� Program, a now-beloved food
and nutrition education program in New York City schools that connects
classroom education and school meals with regional farms. A longtime faculty
member of Teachers College at Columbia University, Toni works with graduate
students to deepen their understanding and engagement with food reform. She has
collaborated with the Sustainable Food Lab, to �translate� European
institutional food procurement change models for the United States. She serves
on the Advisory Committee for the National Farm-To-School Network and is also the
founder of the NYC Nutrition Education Network and is on its leadership team.
