About This Webinar:
The Cooperative Extension System (CES) is a national network with immense capacity for enhancing food security amongst military families. This webinar introduces programs and resources on food, food security, and community nutrition available through CES and invites service providers to explore collaborative opportunities in these areas.
Participants will:
- Learn about CES national and regional programs and management practices regarding food, food security, and community nutrition.
- Learn about CES and land grant applied research in the food security arena.
- Gain awareness of existing food security and community nutrition partnerships between cooperative extension and DoD installations and the possibilities for forging these alliances in their own communities.
Food Security in Focus
Take advantage of OneOp’s Food Security in Focus collection, offering live and on-demand programming related to food security.
Among our nation’s active-duty service members and their families, an estimated 24 percent are food insecure. Food insecurity adversely impacts racial/ethnic minority populations, lower-income populations, and rural and remote populations. Additionally, a rise in economic insecurity throughout the Covid-19 pandemic has contributed to increased food insecurity in vulnerable populations. Join OneOp as we focus on expanding food security for the military family and mobilizing family service professionals at federal, state, and local levels to work together on this issue.
