  Title: Food and water in New York City
  Passage: In New York City, there is an extensive water supply system that supports several programs and infrastructure pertaining to the city's food supply.  City officials, agencies, and organizations cooperate with rural farmers to grow food more locally, as well as protect waterways in the New York metropolitan area.  The New York City Department of Education operates a school-time and summertime breakfast/lunch program.  However, New York City is also deprived of supermarkets in several neighborhoods, and the city has combatted this issue by allowing extra street vendors to operate in the city.  To encourage food safety, New York City also has a restaurant-grading system that it introduced in 2010.  Because of its various food programs, New York City has become a model for food systems internationally.
