07/06/25The Healthy Matters PodcastS04_E19 - Hunger, Health, and Hope: Tackling Food InsecurityWith Special Guests:  Dr. Dianna Cutts, MD, and Amy HarrisIt's pretty hard to concentrate, work, or pretty much do anything while you're hungry.  And while, for many of us, hunger is a passing moment, there are far too many children and adults living with this as a daily reality.  Food insecurity extends well beyond the physical effects of being hungry.  It can be a major stressor on the daily lives of kids in school, their parents, and our society as a whole.  Hunger, the world over, is a critical issue, and in our first-world, modern American society, this definitely merits a deeper look.On this episode of our show, we'll dig into the complexities of it with the help of two special guests from Hennepin Healthcare. Dr. Diana Cutts is the Chair of Pediatrics and a nationally recognized leader on the subject, and Amy Harris is the Population Health Program Director and a champion of building healthier communities.  We'll go over everything from the impacts food insecurity has on both children and parents, and how those effects play out in our society as a whole.  We'll also talk about the stress it causes on families, the importance of bringing it to the fore in a clinical setting, and what can be done to help at an individual, community, state, and even national level.  Food and nutrition are essential for human survival, so it's safe to say food security is essential for the survival of our society.  We hope you'll join us.We're open to your comments or ideas for future shows!Email - healthymatters@hcmed.orgCall - 612-873-TALK (8255)Here are some links to organizations that make a difference if you want to see how you can help:Feeding America: MNSecond Harvest HeartlandHennepin Healthcare FoundationGet a preview of upcoming shows on social media and find out more about our show at www.healthymatters.org.

Policy Seminar | IFPRI Policy Seminar Worsening food insecurity, waning response capacity: Options for a better way forward Co-organized by IFPRI, the Food Security Information Network (FSIN) and the CGIAR Science Program on Food Frontiers and Security | Part of the Fragility to Stability Seminar Series July 2, 2025 Food crises arise from the complex interplay of conflict, poverty, climate variability, and economic shocks, resulting in acute food insecurity among vulnerable populations. According to the latest Global Report on Food Crises (2025), the number of people facing severe levels of acute food insecurity has tripled over the past decade, rising from around 100 million in 2016 to nearly 300 million people in 2024. The report warns that intensifying conflict in areas prone to food crises could worsen these conditions, policy uncertainty in major economies could slow income growth around the world, and budget cuts could erode humanitarian assistance, as well as capacities to monitor and anticipate drivers of acute food insecurity. This seminar will assess these prospects and discuss ways to counteract them. Speakers will discuss: • Trends in acute food insecurity and major drivers • Challenges posed by budget cuts by major aid donors and impacts on food crisis response capacities • Obstacles faced by early warning, early action systems in collecting adequate data to monitor and anticipate food crises and address drivers • Insights from AI-driven predictive modeling approaches to overcome select data challenges and better inform anticipatory and preventive action Opening Remarks Johan Swinnen, Director General, IFPRI Global food crises, fragility, and prospects: Trends and drivers Presentation of the key findings of the 2025 Global Report on Food Crises Sara McHattie, Global Coordinator, Food Security Information Network (FSIN) What are the consequences for food insecurity risks of waning international humanitarian and development assistance?

Nearly 4 million college students have experienced food insecurity. Here in Connecticut, several colleges have food pantries and programs working to address food insecurity on campus.

Guest Lisa Goldman Rosas is an authority on public health who says that food insecurity goes deeper than hunger and can lead to chronic diabetes, heart disease, and even anxiety and depression. Rosas champions a concept she calls “nutrition security,” which focuses on food's health value over mere calories. She discusses her work with “Recipe4Health,” an Alameda County-led program that issues produce prescriptions, offers health coaching, and integrates electronic health records to improve diets and well-being. Food is medicine, Rosas tells host Russ Altman on this episode of Stanford Engineering's The Future of Everything podcast.Have a question for Russ?

Join us for a panel discussion focused on addressing food insecurity in California, with an emphasis on CalFresh reform. CalFresh is the state-run food stamps program that assists low- or no-income individuals and households to purchase nutritious food, also known federally as the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP). Inefficiencies in the CalFresh system have become evident in the billions of dollars in unused federal benefits, as well as in comparison to other states that have achieved 100 percent SNAP participation among eligible individuals through strategic policy changes.  A new state law, AB 518 (Wicks and Jackson), mandates the development of a methodology to estimate CalFresh participation rates, identify eligible but unenrolled Californians, and create outreach strategies to maximize participation; but the bill is only a starting point to addressing the program's shortcomings.  Join us for a wider discussion on the impacts of food insecurity as momentum builds for legislative action to enhance the program's efficiency. We'll also examine the successful models of other states' systems and bring awareness to food insecurity's long-term negative impacts, particularly for marginalized communities.  This program is co-hosted with the San Francisco-Marin Food Bank and followed by a reception. A Member-led Forum program. Forums at the Club are organized and run by volunteer programmers who are members of The Commonwealth Club, and they cover a diverse range of topics.

This week we move into the arena of preventive cardiology when we review a recent report from the team at Northwestern and Princeton on the impact of early childhood food insecurity on cardiovascular health of people in young adulthood. How does food insecurity in young childhood impact the cardiac health of adults? Why is most of the impact seen on BMI but not other measures of cardiovascular health. How can food programs that support improved food and nutrition security work to improve long term cardiovascular health of children and adults? Do the benefits of such programs outweight their costs? Dr. Nilay Shah of Northwestern University shares his deep insights into his work and these questions this week.DOI: 10.1001/jamacardio.2025.1062

Agriculture is a nearly $60 billion industry in the state, but many local farmworkers rely on food donations to feed their families.

Waking up to a home that offers functionality and cleanliness seems like the norm for many of us, but for some, is a struggle too big to tackle. This week on Room by Room: The Home Organization Science Insights Podcast, host Sarah Stancombe consults researcher Dr. Stella C. Sabi on the relationship between substandard living conditions and food insecurity, and the small steps people can take to reorganize their home.  Dr. Stella C. Sabi obtained her doctorate in Food Security from the University of KwaZulu-Natal in South Africa. She has presented her research findings at several local and international platforms including the first SA Higher Education Colloquium on Food Insecurity at Universities, The “9th Annual Teaching and Learning in Higher Education Conference”, and the “2016 New York City International Academic Conference on Education & Social Sciences”. With a background in Policy and Development Studies, Dr. Stella C. Sabi has authored scientific peer-reviewed journals and book chapters on food security, land policy, and HIV/AIDS-treatment policy advocacy.   In this episode, Dr. Stella C. Sabi stresses the misconception that those living in squalor are lazy. Often, people's living conditions are reduced due to factors outside of their control, such as a mental or physical health condition. In reality, people are ashamed of their substandard living conditions and thus isolate themselves from society for fear of judgement. Together, Sarah and Dr. Stella C. Sabi discuss how more well-off people can assist in helping those in squalor both with cleaning and with food security. When offering food, those living with food insecurity deserve a choice as you never know what food allergies or intolerances they may have. Ultimately, networking and community is the best way for those living in squalor to help themselves.  Follow Dr. Stella C.

Welcome to East Chestnut Street Mennonite Church!

Welcome to East Chestnut Street Mennonite Church!

According to the Federation of Virginia Food Banks, one-in-nine Virginians experience food insecurity, meaning they are without adequate access to food, and many have no idea where their next meal is coming from. The same report says one-in-seven Virginia children live in food insecure households, and Black and Hispanic households are more than twice as likely to face food insecurity thanwhite households. Many people who need food turn to local food banks, but now the food banks are struggling to keep the shelves stacked. The reasons are many, including the influx of families needing services in light of federal job losses along with federal grant cuts by the Trump administration. It begs the question, “How are we going to feed those who are hungry?” We dive deeper into the issue and talk about solutions.

 On this episode of All Bodies. All Foods., Ashley and Sam welcome guest Patrilie Hernandez to explore the eating disorder risk factor of food insecurity. According to the USDA, 13.5% of U.S. households reported experiencing food insecurity in 2023—a rise from 12.8% in 2022. Because food insecurity can contribute to the development of eating disorders, we felt it was essential to better understand this public health crisis in order to more effectively support those affected. It's important to recognize that individuals often do not have full control over whether they are food secure. Contributing factors can include income, access to community resources, housing location, knowledge of how to shop for and prepare food, and more. In this conversation, we unpack the systemic and personal contributors to food insecurity, how it intersects with eating disorders, and how individuals can advocate for and educate the systems around them.

In this episode of Road to GEM, Harvard PhD Student and CID Affiliate Jasmin Higo speaks with Jean-Martin Bauer, Director of Food Security and Nutrition Analysis at the World Food Programme, about how AI is shaping the global response to hunger. With over 700 million people facing chronic food insecurity—and food crises driven by conflict, climate change, and economic instability—this conversation asks a pressing question: can innovation keep pace with the complexity of today's hunger challenges? They explore how AI is being used to anticipate emergencies, improve decision-making, and reimagine humanitarian response. The conversation also touches on the ethical limits of technology in fragile settings, the shift from rural to urban hunger, and what the future holds for global food systems. Whether you're interested in technology, development, or humanitarian work, this episode offers timely insight into how AI is being deployed—and questioned—in the fight against global hunger.
