The third issue of Food Insecurity and Hunger in the U.S.: New Research, a periodical created by the Food Research and Action Center (FRAC) and Children’s HealthWatch, was released this week.
IN FOCUS for this issue is “Reflections on Household Food Insecurity: An Interview with Dr. Mark Nord.” Dr. Nord is a leading food insecurity researcher in the US who, before his recent retirement, worked at the USDA Economic Research Service. From 1998 to 2013, Dr. Nord led the USDA team that produced the annual food security report. He also has written a series of important analyses of various aspects of food insecurity in the US.
