Agenda

This agenda will be updated once workshops and plenary sessions are finalized. All sessions will focus on one of three themes:

1. The Critical Role of the Federal Nutrition Programs in the White House’s Plan to End Hunger by 2030: The federal nutrition programs are among our nation’s most important, proven, and cost-effective public interventions, and they must be bolstered if our nation is to eliminate hunger. Sessions will build on one or more of the intersecting programs addressed in the White House Conference plan to end hunger by 2030. 
2. Addressing the Inequities and Root Causes that Fuel Who Experiences Hunger in America: Black, Latinx, Native American, immigrant, and other communities disproportionately experienced the effects of the dual economic and health crises that became more evident during the fallout of the COVID-19 pandemic, which ushered in unprecedented levels of economic insecurity and increasing financial instability. We will explore solutions fostered by collaboration, research, and equitable approaches.
3. Operational Innovations Emerging from the Pandemic: Federal, state, and local programs and policies adjusted in response to the pandemic. We will highlight innovative solutions across food distribution models, federal nutrition procurement, tax credit and policy responses, and program modernizations as we continue to improve food access in the pandemic and beyond.
