Food security, disability and ethics
April 22, 2020
1:00–2:00 p.m. (ET)
Conversations will be held weekly throughout April. To access the recording from last week’s conversation, click here.
As the COVID-19 pandemic evolves, it continues to follow and amplify lines of existing inequities.
To support equity-informed responses, the NCCDH is hosting a series of community conversations on the topic. This is an opportunity for the public health field to explore equity-informed responses through action on the social and structural determinants of health. The conversation will connect practitioners with each other, and provide an opportunity to share experiences, resources, questions and solutions-focused ideas.
Join us for a conversation on community impacts and responses related to food security, disability and ethics.
Host: Sume Ndumbe-Eyoh, Senior Knowledge Translation Specialist, NCCDH

- Dr. Valerie Tarasuk, Professor, University of Toronto; Founding Investigator, PROOF (food security)
