    This workshop series covers very basic information that all nurses should know about the food system, the benefits of plant-based diets, the problem of food insecurity in the US, and how to bring healthier and more sustainable foods to our institutions (schools, hospitals, universities). It also covers very basic drinking water policies and a quick survey of policies that will help to create a healthier food and agriculture system.

    Learning Objectives:

    1. Assess the extent to which the US population is food insecure
    2. List the ways in which nurses can connect food insecure patients to emergency food programs
