En savoir plus sur le livre

Focusing on the lived experiences of hunger and food insecurity, this volume presents insights from ninety-two college students at a Texas university who shared their struggles through interviews. It details seven profiles of food insecurity, examining the lasting effects of childhood hunger, coping mechanisms, and the stigma surrounding food scarcity. The students' narratives reveal connections between nutrition, mental health, and academic performance. The author proposes various solutions, including student-led initiatives and policy changes, to address food insecurity on campuses.
