We're starting week 3 of our Food Insecurity IDEA! Content includes a video visit to The Center for People in Need Center for People to learn about food distribution and services for low income individuals and families. We'll also try a poverty simulator. Let us know if you'd like to join!

This week Dr. @SimantiBanerjee discusses behavioral economics approaches to food insecurity - how to "best use resources to grow the size of the pie to equally distribute to all of those in society and to harness resources for future generations" #sustainability University of Nebraska Public Policy Center

We're considering how to apply principles of sustainability to food insecurity in this week's Food Insecurity IDEA. Participants are learning about sustainable thinking and models from the @JoslynInstitute. Check out their Sustainometrics methodology! joslyninstitute.org

We are about to wrap up week 4 of our pilot, the last week of content! Thank you to everyone who has participated and our experts, make sure you stick around to see the projects on food insecurity in communities around the country!

We're in the final week of our pilot! Participants are submitting their final projects about food insecurity in their own communities.
