Food costs are rising and access to healthier food is decreasing. It is well known that marginalized populations in the food industry tend to have lower-paying jobs. The employees cannot even afford to buy on the menu where they work because of the low wages. Proper nutrition is essential to perform at your best during the workday. The most promising solution is to start providing family meals for workers on shift. An initiative like this can be done for workspaces food-related or not. At least one meal a day from an employer can make a big difference.” –Vanessa Parish, Executive Director, Queer Food Foundation https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6622d32d90c7217cdb0d8edc/29e5c98c-23f4-44ec-95fb-d942b0e00d35/Screenshot+2024-06-09+at+5.50.37+PM.png Food Policy Debrief - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6622d32d90c7217cdb0d8edc/2c2da6c1-32d5-4779-8027-1875f3acd101/FPD+icons-06.png Food Policy Debrief - Have something food policy-related you want to share?
