Hunts Point food hub is dangerously vulnerable to climate disaster. Can it be protected?
In Hunts Point, the workday ends at 7:00AM for most workers. That’s because they’ve been working all night in the bustling food distribution hub in the Bronx that serves as the food supply hub for 22 million people, but sits vulnerably right on the water. We take you inside the markets and learn just how critical this hub is to feeding the region and you’ll learn what’s being done to protect it.
