This segment of our one-episode podcast is hosted by Joyce and Jane. This segment features Parker Haga, a third-year International Relations student at UBC. Tune in as Parker shares about her experience as an international student in France (Sciences Po), and their thoughts on campus food insecurity as a student who have worked for NGOs such as United Way BC and A Better Life Foundation. Parker states that "some interesting things I found [United Way BC] were doing... were to have more wrap-around services. Things aren't just directly related to food, but access to things... even if it's like counselling to other resources... I think they are all interconnected...".

This segment's cover was retrieved from UBC Wellbeing's Food + Nutrition page, which offers an insight on how the university is tackling the issue of food insecurity through the UBC Wellbeing Framework of the UBC Strategic Plan.
