ABSTRACT:

KIHLSTROM, Laura (USF) What Do We Mean When We Talk About Food Insecurity? Parts I-II. Food insecurity, defined as a state of not having physical, social and economic access to food that is nutritious, safe, and sufficient, and that meets the dietary needs and preferences of an individual, has become a well-known concept among scholars and practitioners. Debates around the proper measurement, definition, and meaning of food insecurity are ongoing. The purpose of this session is to introduce theoretical, methodological, and applied approaches that help us further understand food insecurity.
