How Central Brooklyn Eats
How Central Brooklyn Eats
From July through October of this year, Central Brooklyn Food Coop member-leaders hit the streets to document their neighbors’ food shopping practices and attitudes. In all, approximately 350 surveys were collected using an online survey and an in-person survey distributed through more than 20 outreach sessions.
A few insights:
○ As a whole, Central Brooklynites were satisfied with the store hours and shopping environment offered in their primary grocery stores.
○ Conversely, they were unsatisfied with their primary grocery stores’ product prices and the lack of “ethnic and cultural” foods.
○ Eighty-two percent of those surveyed said they would join and participate in a food coop in Central Brooklyn.
