A look at the problem of food insecurity in the US--a condition which affected 49 million Americans in 2013--and its harmful manifestations. Featuring insight and perspective from a range of distinguished experts, including from the food insecure themselves, "The American Food Disparity" examines food insecurity's causes, effects and exacerbation, and throws into sharp relief the growing urgency with which it presents us. Initiated by the work of then-graduate student Christopher Putvinski, who was working in Philadelphia to help reduce the high rates of food insecurity in that city, "The American Food Disparity" seeks to raise awareness about the issue and to move the discussion towards one of solution rather than mitigation.
