Preface

If you are a student, an advocate, or a concerned citizen looking to understand and address the escalating challenge of food insecurity, you have come to the right place. This book will guide you in analyzing, investigating, and responding to the systemic failures that contribute to hunger in our communities. As you navigate these chapters, you will gain the perspectives and tools needed to promote a fair and equitable food system, resulting in meaningful changes within your community.

Consistent with the principles of social justice, this resource is offered at no cost to provide an alternative to expensive textbooks that contribute to rising student debt.
