“Food Insecurity” is topic for League of Women Voters March Unit meetings

March 6, 2014 By The Suburban Times

Speakers from Pierce County’s Emergency Food Network and FISH Food Banks will help League of Women Voters members understand the problem of food insecurity in the US and locally. Non-members are cordially invited to join in this important conversation. The conversation topics may include, but are not limited to:

  • What are the sources of “healthy, affordable food” for the hungry?
  • What are the effects of hunger on individuals and on Pierce County society?
  • What can be done to improve how the food production stream delivers nutrition to the hungry?
  • What can technology do? Soil management, pesticides/herbicides, Genetically Modified Organisms, etc.
  • What actions to end hunger and hunger related conditions are effective?
