The latest episode of Food First Michigan is focused on the effects of food insecurity on children from health to educational outcomes.  Food insecurity amongst children is a “we” problem to solve because if a child is not well fed, they are not well read.  Today’s children are tomorrow’s workforce, so we need to work together to address food insecurity amongst Michigan’s children.  Today’s guest is Yasmeen Jasey, Michigan Market Executive, Citizens Financial Group.  Listen in to learn more about this important issue.

“HUNGER IS NOT BETTER THAN WE ARE, IT IS NOT BIGGER THAN WE ARE, AND IT IS NOT BEYOND US TO SOLVE.”
Featuring innovative leaders from government, industry and nonprofit organizations, Food First is a platform for sharing ideas and, more importantly, solutions to end food insecurity. Dr. Knight is a tireless advocate, believing that Michigan, the nation’s second most diverse agricultural state, can prove that hunger is not better, not stronger, and not smarter than us.
