Discussion Takeaways
- Hunger is related to everything. We all need to eat regardless of what we do. No matter what your expertise or line of work is, Food Dignity is a part of what you do.
- Dignified feeding programs are not about us deciding what people should and shouldn’t eat. We need to ask people about what they want to eat. Food sovereignty is a huge part of this work.
- How can everyone be involved in dignified food access? How do we build up other people by using their biggest asset in the field of food access, nutrition, public health, you name it. Everyone has a role to play!
