In 2020, 13.8 million households were food insecure at some time during the year according to the USDA. Join us for a community conversation on food insecurity, as we discuss the ways community groups and researchers might work together toward solutions. Through dialogue we hope to increase community awareness, share resources and provide education and insight to affect positive change in communities. Our incredible panel features speakers from UAB School of Public Health, UAB Blazer Kitchen, Jones Valley Teaching Farm, Auburn University Hunger Solutions Institute, Harvest Community Charities, and the Community Food Bank of Central Alabama.
