"Food insecurity among college and university students is pervasive, affecting nearly half of all students and impeding their ability to succeed and thrive in higher education and beyond. Historically marginalized and underrepresented populations of students, however, are inequitably at greater risk for experiencing food insecurity than the general student population.
Research has surged on food insecurity prevalence, student outcomes, and strategies. However, food insecurity inequities and strategies to address them; student-led strategies that would lend themselves to justice; and non-emergency, systemic, and more radically transformative strategies have received less attention.
Overall, student food (in)security has largely lacked the overt equity- and justice-based lenses more frequently applied to broader food security and systems scholarship and practice."
