March through November, it hosts the region’s largest farmers’ market on Saturdays with additional markets on Sundays and Wednesdays. (https://thecitymarketkc.org/farmers-market/).The Double Up Heartland Collaborative (https://www.doubleupheartland.org/) is aligning and scaling up successful healthy food incentive programs. Over 1.1 million Kansas and Missouri residents rely on federal food assistance via the SNAP program. Double Up Food Bucks makes it easier for low-income families to eat fresh fruits and vegetables while supporting family farmers and growing local economies. They match every $1 you spend at participating farmers markets and grocery stores in Kansas and Missouri with another $1 FREE so you can buy more fruits and vegetables, up to $25 more per day.

12295749330Kansas CityUnited States of AmericaNorth America12.4How does your city increase access to sustainable foods?2Please provide details and/or links to more information about the actions your city is taking to increase access to sustainable foods5Do you incentivise fresh fruit/vegetables vendor locations?The City Market is the largest open-air market in the Midwest and has been in operation since 1857. The City Market Farmers’ Market is held year-round and features more than 150 local vendors offering fresh produce, plants, eggs, meat, dairy, baked goods, alcoholic beverages, handmade crafts and value added products. The City Market is owned by the City of Kansas City, and is leased to the Planned Industrial Expansion Authority of Kansas City (PIEA). (https://thecitymarketkc.org/farmers-market/).Kanbe’s Markets (https://www.kanbesmarkets.org/) provides consistent access to fresh, healthy and affordable foods in the areas of Kansas City designated by the USDA as “food deserts.”Their goal is to eliminate food insecurity by providing an innovative food delivery system that is more inclusive, enhances small businesses, and improves communities one neighborhood at a time.Food deserts and food insecurity are not new problems, and we are not implying that Kanbe’s is “be all, end all” solution. However, the food system clearly has some gaps. For the average citizen, the supermarket has done a wonderful job consolidating food into large central places so that they are generally more affordable. However, if you cannot get to one of those supermarkets, you are left food insecure, and your options disappear.The USDA defines food insecurity as a lack of consistent access to enough food for an active, healthy life.40 million Americans, including more than 12 million children, are reported as food insecure (2017).For emergency situations, the food bank networks have done an incredible job making sure people have a place to turn. In many cases Feeding America and Harvesters, along with their soup kitchens and pantries are the only thing keeping this country from a crisis resembling third world hunger.Food insecurity is defined as one of the conditions of the environment in which people are born, live, learn, work, play, worship, and age that affect a wide range of health and quality of life.Solve food insecurity and many other problems begin to improve.There are millions of hard working people that want to provide healthy meals for their family, but their only options are fast food restaurants or the local convenience store which currently is stocked with chips, soda, and candy bars. Kanbe’s Markets fills the gaps in the deliverability of fresh, healthy food choices to the small businesses that can’t afford to provide these foods at scale, due to the investment risk of ordering fresh foods that deteriorate in just a few days.
12295849330Kansas CityUnited States of AmericaNorth America12.4How does your city increase access to sustainable foods?2Please provide details and/or links to more information about the actions your city is taking to increase access to sustainable foods6Do you have programs/policies/regulations on food surplus - either food surplus recovery and redistribution, or food waste avoidance programs (i.e. Love Food/Hate Waste)?Mid-America Regional Council (MARC), one of the non-profits that the city works closely with is an endorser of the Environmental Protection Agency’s Food Recovery Challenge.As part of the Food Recovery Challenge, organizations pledge to improve their sustainable food management practices and report their results. Organizations are encouraged to follow the Food Recovery Hierarchy to prioritize their actions to prevent and divert wasted food. (https://www.marc.org/Environment/Solid-Waste/District-Programs-and-Projects/Regional-Solid-Waste-Planning).Other programs out there to recover surplus food, but they are not associated with City operations. For example, After the Harvest (gleens unharvested produce from fields) and Kanbes Markets (purchases excess food from warehouses and makes it available through their markets).

12297549330Kansas CityUnited States of AmericaNorth America2. Climate Hazards and Vulnerability2.0Has a climate change risk and vulnerability assessment been undertaken for your city?0YesThe Kansas City Water Services Department (KC Water) completed Climate Analysis study in 2016 in partnership with Climate LOOK. This study modeled the climate change risk for Kansas City, but did not complete the full vulnerability assessment on human populations. In 2020, Climate Action KC, our regional Climate Action cooperative that includes Kansas City staff and elected officials in its membership, completed a regional Climate Risk & Vulnerability Assessment (CRVA) that includes the entire city limits of Kansas City, Missouri within its footprint. We are in the RFP stage of updating Kansas City's Climate Protection Plan to be an Adaptation and Mitigation plan. In the creation of the new plan, we will draw from the two existing documents and additional data received during the planning process to create a more specific CRVA for Kansas City residents.

12297749330Kansas CityUnited States of AmericaNorth America2. Climate Hazards and Vulnerability2.0aPlease select the primary process or methodology used to undertake the risk and vulnerability assessment of your city.2Description1Risk assessment methodologyArea planning agency, Mid-America Regional Council (MARC) used IPCC guidance in creation of the Regional Climate Risk and Vulnerability Assessment. In addition to the Regional CRVA, the Kansas City Water Services Department (KC Water) completed Climate Analysis study in 2016 in partnership with Climate LOOK. This study modeled the climate change risk for Kansas City, using various models to create a more robust outlook. To address scientific uncertainty, future projections were based on simulations from nine global climate models from the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project phase 3 (CCSM3, CGCM3, CNRM, ECHO, ECHAM5, GFDL-2.1, HadCM3, HadGEM, and PCM). To address the uncertainty of human activities and heat-trapping gas emissions, future projections use two very different scenarios, the report references the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change moderate emissions reduction scenario A1B and minor emissions reduction scenario A1FI. In 2020, Climate Action KC, our regional climate action collaboration that includes Kansas City staff and elected officials in its membership, completed a regional Climate Risk & Vulnerability Assessment (CRVA) that includes the entire city limits of Kansas City, Missouri within its regional footprint. On behalf of Climate Action KC, MARC joined the Global Covenant of Mayors (G-CoM). Our regional effort has been recognized by the G-CoM for support and assistance in development of a plan, including the CRVA. We have worked closely with consultant Buro Happold and a designated representative of the G-CoM. Our area is one of four such regional efforts in the USA with G-CoM support.

Please provide details on the boundary of your assessment, and where this differs from your city’s boundary, please provide an explanation.5Explanation of boundary choice where the assessment boundary differs from the city boundary1The planning boundary for the regional Climate Action Plan and Climate Risk and Vulnerability Assessment (CRVA) include the nine counties in the Mid-America Regional Council (MARC) region with the addition of Douglas County, Kansas. These 10 counties together represent a large and diverse region with a population of over 2.1 million people and over 900,000 housing units. Kansas City, Missouri is located in the near exact center of the region at the intersection of the five most populace counties in the planning area: Jackson, Platte and Clay in Missouri and Wyandotte and Johnson in Kansas. Because the region has for the past year been working on development of a regional climate action plan including a regional CRVA, Kansas City, MO staff have integrally involved in development of the plan and its integrated elements and almost all major findings apply to the region as well as to the greater KC metropolitan area. The only significant difference is in assessment of the impacts of the urban heat island and its impacts on vulnerable populations. This impact is more pronounced in the urban center of Kansas City as opposed to the surrounding, more rural/agricultural areas of the region.

Please provide details on the boundary of your assessment, and where this differs from your city’s boundary, please provide an explanation.9Please explain1The risk section of Regional CRVA is organized by natural hazards of high probability, including flooding, extreme heat, drought, severe thunderstorms, and tornados. For each hazard it lists the vulnerable populations most likely to be affected by that hazard. It then notes the impact of each hazard on sectors, assets, and services. The vulnerability section is mapped based on the intersection of socioeconomic stressors layered over the natural hazards. The region's adaptive capacity is analyzed through factors within the human system, including built environment, economy, natural environment, government capacity, inequality, and public health.
