The Interdisciplinary Center for Food Security recently hosted a national symposium, Food Insecurity: Assessing Disparities, Consequences, and Policies. Experts from diverse academic disciplines gathered with community activists and practitioners to assess the state of food insecurity and food justice and unpack a simple question with incredibly complex answers: where do we go from here?

Mike Burden, Senior Information Specialist with the University of Missouri College of Agriculture, Food, and Natural Resources (CAFNR), covered the event. His story, along with audio clips and images, appeared in CAFNR News. Speakers’ presentations and  biographies are also available.
