Food Security Videos

This webinar presentation focuses on nutrition, health, functionality, and the relationships between these factors and others such as income to food insecurity for older adults. Several available programs for older adults and possible solutions will be addressed. These include participation in federally funded food and nutrition assistance programs such as the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, the Older Americans Nutrition Program, and nutrition education and counseling, as well as community supportive services such as transportation, the National Family Caregivers Support Program, and the Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program. Speaker: Jean L. Lloyd, MS, National Nutritionist, US Department of Health and Human Services, Administration on Aging Moderator: Dr. Robin Orr, University of Illinois

In this final installment, Joel Berg, executive director of the New York City Coalition Against Hunger (NYCCAH), offers his solutions for ending hunger in America.

This video focuses on some of the initiatives undertaken by the Kaslo Food Security Project. Food and water security are growing concerns at this time of climate change and the rising "true" cost of non-renewable fuels. The speakers in this video argue that there's a need to get in touch with our roots, both literally in our gardens and metaphorically with our "communities" since both can feed and nurture us.
