Lunch & Learn: The Epidemic of Food Insecurity

CLICK HERE TO REGISTER

Food insecurity is a growing global challenge that affects millions of people. It is aggravated by a variety of factors, including population growth, food waste, climate change, and the need for improved sustainable agriculture practices. In North Carolina, food insecurity is also caused by poverty, unemployment (for example, the loss of good-paying jobs in the textile, furniture manufacturing, and tobacco industries), lack of access to affordable food, and social inequalities. Join agricultural professional Dr. Charles Pearson and Don Milholin, Executive Director of Out Of The Garden Project, to learn about the drivers of food insecurity and the need for innovation and collaboration to address the continued food insecurity challenge.
