Primary industry

New York Urban Agriculture (Brooklyn Rooftop Urban Farm)
New York City is densely populated and land is expensive, and the local government has long encouraged urban agriculture. In the 1970s, when New York was at a low point and faced the financial crisis, a lot of public and private land was abandoned. At this time, through Operation Green Thumb and other actions, volunteers renovated the abandoned land and transformed it into community farm parks for leisure and social interaction, food cultivation or comprehensive and multi-purpose purposes. The maximum number of community farm parks in the peak period was 700. This was a period of rapid growth for urban agriculture in New York.
After 1993, with the rise of urban real estate boom, a large number of community agricultural garden land was expropriated and development was hindered, and the number dropped sharply. Due to the serious imbalance between social and environmental development, people began to pay new attention to urban agriculture, and the local government also issued a series of promotion policies to promote the development of urban agriculture again, and the scope of the expansion of the model is gradually diversified, including personal gardening, community gardening, commercial agriculture, indoor agriculture (such as hydroponics and aquaponics), rooftop greenhouses.
Urban agriculture in New York City's five boroughs provides many benefits to local people, such as expanded access to healthy food, strong community networks, improved neighborhood air quality, biodiversity, and educational and employment opportunities. New York Urban Agriculture uses less land and water, produces more produce, feeds more people, and grows produce that is non-GMO, pesticide-free and can be harvested year-round, including basil, dill, parsley, cilantro, broccoli, cabbage, and more, sold in more than 250 local stores.

Scientific and technological undertaking

Silicon Alley in New York
In 2008, after the outbreak of the international financial crisis, the New York City government and experts believe that the city's pillar industry can no longer be dominated by finance, and it needs to follow the trend and vigorously promote scientific and technological innovation. In 2010, the New York City government was the first in the world to propose the goal of building a "global science and technology innovation center", and has steadily promoted the implementation of multiple measures. In 2019, the Global Innovation Cities Ranking shows that New York's innovation index has risen to number one in the world and is recognized as a global leader in technology. In 2022, the "International Science and Technology Innovation Center Index Ranking" shows that New York ranks second in the world; Industrial sustainability ranked 10th in the Asia-Pacific region. [37] 36 -
The most representative place to promote the development of key scientific and technological innovation areas is the "Silicon Alley" in Manhattan, New York. It is located near the Flatiron Building on Fifth Avenue near Broadway and 23rd Street, straddling Midtown and downtown. There are a lot of tech innovation companies here, Google, Facebook, Microsoft Other high-tech enterprise giants have also set up research and development institutions and business centers here. The rapid rise of "Silicon Alley" has made it one of the three major technology hubs in the United States, along with Silicon Valley in San Francisco and Boston. However, different from Silicon Valley, New York's science and technology innovation industry is not around chips, semiconductors and other hardware equipment, but more inclined to develop a variety of information technology, new media, financial technology, the Internet and other fields to provide advanced solutions and optimization and upgrading, so as to achieve the deep integration of scientific and technological innovation and other industries.
There are 56 colleges and universities near New York, and many world-class research institutions and top scientific and technological talents, which provide the source of scientific and technological innovation in New York and stimulate the innovation vitality of various enterprises. The laboratories of Columbia University, New York University and other well-known universities also continue to cultivate new enterprises, and gather together with other high-tech enterprises here, and continue to develop, thus forming an industrial cluster with computer hardware and software and biological engineering as the core. With its good innovation environment, New York has not only stabilized world-renowned high-tech companies such as Microsoft and Google, but also attracted many small technology companies. With the world's leading chip companies such as IMB, Intel, Apple, and TSMC settling down, New York is building into the world's largest mobile Internet chip base. [27]

Medical service

In New York, the overall level of medical conditions is very high, and the facilities are perfect, and the institutions providing medical care mainly include hospitals, doctors' clinics, nursing homes, rehabilitation centers, independent diagnosis and treatment centers and independent pharmacies. Large hospitals are equipped with advanced medical testing equipment and operating rooms, mainly for emergency patients and major difficult patients to provide medical services. The average patient usually goes to a doctor's office in the community. Community doctors' clinics have the characteristics of small scale, large number, wide distribution and convenient medical treatment. They usually provide basic medical services such as general physical examination, disease follow-up, family health care, general internal medicine, pediatrics, obstetrics and gynecology, orthopaedic surgery and ophthalmology.
drugs in New York are divided into prescription drugs and non-prescription drugs. "prescription drugs" must be purchased with a "prescription" written by a doctor, and the "prescription drugs" must be sold by a licensed pharmacist working in the "pharmacy". Some supermarkets and discount stores also have pharmacies where you can buy non-prescription drugs without a doctor's prescription, such as aspirin or common cold medicine. In general, commonly used medicines are available locally.
Hospitals in New York are heavily regulated by Medicare. Due to the high cost of hospitalization, insurance companies in order to control medical costs, as far as possible to reduce the number of days of hospitalization of patients, patients are required to stay in the Acute Hospital or Short-term Hospital for 5-7 days (into the recovery period). This can be transferred to a relatively low-cost SNFs (Skilled Nursing Facilities) or Family Care Center, or directly to a community doctor's office. If there is an Emergency, you will usually choose to go to the Emergency Center for medical treatment. [40]

Social security

There are two types of social welfare in New York: social security and non-social security. Social insurance benefits include: old age insurance, unemployment insurance and other employment insurance; Non-social Security benefits include: Assistance to families with child care difficulties, Social Security income, food stamps, Medicaid, housing assistance, and energy assistance. New York's health care system is mainly made up of two parts: Medicare and Medicaid. [39]
New York's Social Security system consists of two main components: OASDI (Elderly, Survivors, and Disabled Insurance) and SSI (Supplemental Security Income Plan). OASDI is a monthly guarantee for retired workers, survivors, people with disabilities and their families with reduced or no income. Retirement insurance or disability benefits for employees (elderly people) are determined by their level of income at the time of employment. SSI is a monthly cash grant for people 65 years of age and older, blind and disabled people of all ages, including children.
New York's health insurance system consists of social health insurance and private health insurance. Due to the high cost of seeing a doctor in New York, if you do not buy insurance, it will be difficult for individuals to bear the huge medical expenses, so many people participate in social health insurance and private health insurance.

Special diet

EDITOR
New York's food culture has been influenced by many foreign immigrants and is therefore very diverse, with Eastern European and Italian immigrants bringing the most prestigious to New York City bagel , cheesecake And New York style pizza. There are about 4,000 licensed snack vendors in the city, many of them run by immigrants, so you can see a lot of Middle Eastern food on the street, such as falafel and Mutton shashlik For sure, but Hot dog and A pretzel Still a mainstream vendor snack. In addition to street vendors, New York City is also home to high-end restaurants. Exotic foods common in New York City are Italy , France , Spain , Russia , Britain , Greece , Morocco , China , Brazil and Japan Wait for foreign cuisine. There are more than 18,000 restaurants in New York City Afghanistan , Ethiopia , Jamaica And other national flavor food.
New York-owned America maximum Jew The community is the largest Jewish city in the United States, and Chinese food is a part of the daily diet of New York Jews. Professor Wen Li of the City University of New York and Professor Tuckerman of the University of Connecticut pointed out that among New York Jews, Jews from Eastern Europe have long internalized Chinese food into a second diet. One reason is religious precepts. Jews were required to adhere to strict ingredients and cooking laws, including not cooking dairy products with meat, which often troubled the large number of Jews who immigrated to New York in the early 19th century because it was difficult to find restaurants with exotic dishes that could be prepared in accordance with the law. Subsequently, Jews found that Chinese food would hardly put dairy products and meat in the same pot, which was called "safe non-Jewish food" by Jews and became the first choice for eating out.
Jews like chicken dishes, Chinese cuisine has a lot of chicken dishes. The flavoring of scallions, garlic and Onions favored by Eastern European Jews is also close to Chinese cuisine. In order to cater to American tastes, Chinese food in the United States has developed special sweet and sour flavors, which happen to be close to the sweet and sour flavors favored by Eastern European Jews.
