In 2023, we began our year by highlighting food policy news, community based organizations working towards food system change, and health and nutrition focused law changes. We continued to report on these topics throughout the year, with a focus on national feeding programs, the ongoing hunger crisis, food service workers rights, interviews with key changemakers in our field, and our annual 40 under 40 awards. Below is a recap of the original pieces we published from January to June of 2023.
