Great Presenters: David Blais

Oct 3, 2023 - Why are we still dealing with the challenges of food insecurity & hunger? The answer, surprisingly, has nothing to do with food!
In 1969 the Nixon White House held a conference on hunger and declared that they were going to end hunger ‘Now and forever.” Fifty-three years later we are still fighting the same battle with the Biden White House proclaiming that they will wipe out Hunger by 2030.
Join us as we journey into the real reasons hunger exists in this country and the unintended barriers that get in the way of creating a food secure nation.
