Today is #WorldFoodDay2022 🌎

These past years have shown us too many people across the country live on the brink of food & financial insecurity. We need to build a sustainable world where everyone has regular access to enough nutritious food.

No one should be left behind.

In a city with 8.4 million people & devastating economic gaps, policymakers play a critical role in expanding access to nutritious options for everyone. As the Executive Director of NYC Food, TC alum Kate MacKenzie is doing exactly that. #WorldFoodDay tc.columbia.edu/articles/2022/…
