You can't miss this motivating kick-off to the anti-hunger conference! Dr. Gundersen's keynote and Q&A is guaranteed to be interesting, engaging, and motivating.
Food insecurity has become the leading indicator of economic well-being among vulnerable Americans for two central reasons. First, the extent of the problem is enormous – almost 40 million Americans are food insecure. Second, there are multiple negative health outcomes associated with food insecurity which lead to corresponding higher health care costs and higher rates of mortality.
In this presentation, Gundersen reviews how food insecurity is measured; provides a broad overview of food insecurity in the U.S. and in particular, Oklahoma; and considers some groups that are often overlooked when examining food insecurity. He then turns to how we can use the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) to essentially eliminate food insecurity.
Learning objectives:
- Understand how to measure food insecurity
- Understand the determinants of food insecurity
- Understand the role SNAP plays in alleviating food insecurity
