Sara Naomi Bleich. The Collateral Effect: Hunger and Food Insecurity
Episode Summary:
In this episode we meet American researcher and academic Sara Naomi Bleich, who speaks about one of the long lasting side effects of COVID-19 - food insecurity. A former White House Fellow and a Senior Policy Advisor to the U.S. Department of Agriculture and Michelle Obama's Let’s Move initiative, Sara discusses major issues of the food supply chain and a potential future recovery of the system, build through new adequate policies helping the ones who need the most, mainly lower income and minority populations. Sara advocates urgently addressing hunger for reaching the United Nations goal - Ending Hunger by 2030 - through a stronger and wisely moderated sustainable path.
Why is hunger even more urgent to address?
How can we end hunger by 2030?
Is there a political wheel to make these changes permanent?
