Thank you for talking about this. I’m taking a class this quarter about nutrition and food insecurity in Latin America and will share with my class! Totally agree that these community level changes are far more empowering than random statistics about reducing emissions.
Thank you so much for sharing this story. It’s very inspiring. So good
“The fact that broadly, we have accepted food as a commodity that one must work to purchase, even though it is required for survival, is a serious flaw in the cultural narrative about hunger. The fact that Belo Horizonte declared food security to be a public good (and food insecurity a market failure) is a radical act, and one that should be replicated in other contexts. Food is too important to be left solely to a market that does not allocate it effectively. “
Exceptional read. Real, practical examples of how to successfully eradicate food insecurity. Thank you for sharing this story.

I would love that!
Thank you for this inspiring and excellent read, Thea. So well timed for today's White House conference.
