| This online meeting explored community-based approaches to addressing food insecurity, which remains an ongoing problem for many. Diverse approaches to addressing this have emerged, in many cases from the grassroots, with substantial and continued innovation to address existing and emerging inequities. The programme will include a variety of perspectives, culminating in a panel and member-led discussion. |
