Coronavirus and Food Access: How the Pandemic Impacts Food Insecurity 5.6.20

There are nearly 40 million Americans, including 11 million children, who are food insecure. That means, they don't have reliable, consistent access to the nutritious, quality food they need to lead healthy lives.

Cindy Leung and Susan Aaronson, Nutritional Sciences faculty at the University of Michigan School of Public Health, talk about the ways COVID-19 is impacting those experiencing food insecurity, and how community and government organizations are adapting to serve those in need.
