The food system serves as a powerful vehicle for social cohesion, community connections, and cultural traditions. Our current system is deeply inequitable, which threatens the health and economic vitality of communities across the country including those in Brown County. An increasing number of households in Brown County are dealing with food insecurity.  Lack of access to affordable, culturally appropriate, healthy food can contribute to health disparities and inequities.

For additional information on the work that is being done around food systems in Brown County or to get involved, please contact Patrick Nehring at patrick.nehring@wisc.edu.
