Episode 18: Post-Helene: Building WNC’s Safety Net Through Food Hubs and Farms
This episode kicks off a new series on food access and health in WNC as we approach the end of 2025. We start with epidemiologist Patrick Baron, who helps us understand the big picture after multiple hits to food infrastructure:
We talk about the relationship of food access and population health, his 2023 work with MountainWise on rural food access and what lessons from Helene can teach us about resilience and recovery as we brace for federal cuts to SNAP, Medicaid, and the USDA. Coming up in the next installments of the series are several examples of food access efforts in WNC.
