An Epidemiological Approach to Addressing Food Insecurity
 

An Epidemiological Approach to Addressing Food Insecurity

Goal:
Students will use the scientific process to take an intricate look at food insecurity in the United States through the examination of data, literature review, and an analysis of implemented strategies to understand and develop additional strategies to addressing racial inequity in food security through Urban Agriculture.

Objective:
Students will develop innovative and entrepreneurial thinking and apply STEM learning through not only the creation of an Urban Garden, but actually developing a plan for sustainability, profit and growth.
