Zero Hunger Pathways Project Working Group
The Zero Hunger Pathways Project Working Group was launched in January 2020 and is chaired by Bassel Daher (Texas A&M), Asma Lateef (SDG 2 Advocacy Hub and Bread for the World Institute), and Alicia Powers (Auburn University).
The Zero Hunger Pathways Project is a collaboration that applies a systems approach to end hunger in the United States. The Working Group will chart equitable, resilient, and sustainable pathways to profoundly improve availability, accessibility, utilization and stability of healthy food for all.
Project Objectives
What is the situation? Develop a baseline report outlining the situation of hunger in America
What are the possibilities? Engage and activate experts and networks to advance recommendations
How will we evaluate them? Create recommendations for a framework measuring progress towards zero hunger, including indicators and metrics at the US national, state, and city levels
How do we translate research-based recommendations to policy and action? Develop action-oriented outputs linking policy and science
