They also offer insights into the most promising strategies to combat student hunger, including- utilizing research to raise awareness and enact change; - creating campus pantries, emergency aid programs, and meal voucher initiatives to meet immediate needs;- leveraging public benefits and nonprofit partnerships to provide additional resources;- changing higher education systems and college cultures to better serve students; and- drawing on student activism and administrative clout to influence federal, state, and local policies.Arguing that practice and policy are improved when informed by research, Food Insecurity on Campus combines the power of data with detailed storytelling to illustrate current conditions.
