SUMMARY:Intersection: Food Deserts and Public Policy
DESCRIPTION:Our understanding of “food deserts” has shifted dramaticall
 y in the 15-20 years since the idea first entered the public lexicon. Food
  access\, especially to affordable\, nutritious\, minimally processed food
 \, is shaped by much more than the geographic distribution of grocery stor
 es. Public policy has both perpetuated and alleviated aspects of this cris
 is through SNAP (“food stamps”)\, while mega-corporations both contrib
 ute massive donations to food banks and ensure the continued need for food
  banks by paying less than a living wage. We invite you to join the conver
 sation on the economic and political power of food as we seek solutions at
  local\, state\, and national levels. \n\nModerator: Naim Edwards\, Dir
 ector of the MSU Detroit Partnership in Food\, Learning and Innovation \n
 \nPanelists: \n\n 	Katherine Alaimo\, Associate Professor in the Depart
 ment of Food Science and Human Nutrition\; Director of the Sustainable Agr
 iculture and Food Systems Undergraduate Program \n\n\n 	Steven Haider\, P
 rofessor and Chair of the Department of Economics \n 	Alex B. Hill\, Anth
 ropologist and Cartographer \n 	Dawn Opel\, Director for Research and Str
 ategic Initiatives for the Food Bank Council of Michigan \n
