Her blonde curls and wide smile greeted me first as she squatted down to my level. After she opened her mouth to say hello, however, I realized something.Although ...

In the Bronx at the Hunts Point produce market, millions of pounds of fresh produce move through it every single day, managed by teams operating at an incredible scale.And yet, about 1.2% 2 million New Yorkers are food insecure.
