Wikipedia:Birth and beyond edit-a-thon

 Join us for the...

While food and nutrition are separate concepts, they converge at the point of access - not only should food be reliably available to everyone, but that food should be affordable, culturally relevant, and nutritious. In the United States, 38 million people, including 12 million children, are food insecure. United States Department of Agriculture and other government and non-governmental organizations improve nutritional guidelines and increase access to healthy and affordable food.

During Birth & Beyond, keynote speaker Dr. Maya Maroto will talk about the convergence of food and nutrition security, the role of nutritional guidelines, and the policies and programs the federal government and non-governmental organizations are implementing to equitably improve food and nutrition security in the United States. Guest speaker Dr. Tanya Agurs-Collins will speak on the root causes of nutrition health disparities; a representative from the Center for Agriculture and Food Systems at Vermont Law School will share tools and programs created to support local communities to strengthen healthy health food policy and healthier school lunch programs. The Food and Nutrition Information Center at the United States National Agricultural Library will close out the event, sharing tools and research and demonstrating how to navigate the information center and nutrition.gov websites.

The afternoon session consists of an optional Wikipedia editing training session and editing time to focus on food systems and food insecurity.

During this training, attendees of all experience levels will learn the basics of how to edit Wikipedia by updating related articles.
