Wikipedia:WikiProject/NAL/Nutrition Security Definitions and Discussions

 Join us for the...

Join the USDA National Agricultural Library for a two-part event examining how USDA works to promote and elevate nutrition security. Nutrition security means all Americans have consistent access to safe, healthy, affordable foods essential to optimal health and well-being. Nutrition security builds on food security by focusing on how the quality of our diets can help reduce diet-related diseases. It also emphasizes equity and addressing long-standing health disparities. During the event, Dr. Alisha Coleman-Jensen, social science analyst in Food Assistance at the USDA-Economic Research Service, will give an overview of food security and Dr. Sara Bleich, USDA Director of Nutrition Security and Health Equity, will discuss nutrition security and the differences and connections between the two concepts. She will provide an overview of how USDA engages with partners and stakeholders to improve nutrition security. This work centers on four pillars: meaningful support, healthy food, collaborative action, and equitable systems. We will close out the event with a discussion panel of experts including: Dr. John Dyer, Senior Policy Advisor for Precision Nutrition, USDA Research, Education, and Economics, Melanie Abley, Eve Stoody, HeatherDawn Thompson, and Mallory Koenings will join Dr. Bleich. There will be time for questions and discussion with the speakers. For the second half of the day's event, attendees will learn how to edit Wikipedia while working with experienced editors to update and write Wikipedia articles about nutrition, food, and nutrition security. Registration is required but attendees are free to come and go as they please.

Full day attendance is not required.
