A Project of the Johns Hopkins Center for a @LivableFuture, we combine interactive mapping with data on food, the environment & public health.

New @livablefuture video highlights innovative ways that #foodpolicy councils are taking action to reduce hunger, support farmers, and protect workers during the #COVID19 pandemic.

[Livable Future @livablefuture]

Across the US, #foodpolicy councils are taking action to address the impact of #COVID19 in their communities. This video highlights innovative ways that groups like @MoCoFoodCouncil and @DetroitFoodPC are working to reduce hunger, support farmers, and protect workers.

Some thoughts on the path forward during the #COVID19 pandemic. Now is the time for us to be at our most compassionate and agile, to innovate and stay hopeful, and to remember that we are one global community united against a virus. https://t.co/pCqhrOoSfn

Interesting read from @jrharding21 @livablefuture on innovative ways that local governments, food banks & others are using mapping tools to help connect people to much-needed resources like emergency food assistance during the #COVID19 pandemic: https://t.co/4xfVJ0LwON

"As #publichealth departments ... recommend that seniors participate in social distancing, donations to food banks dwindle, and congregate meals are suspended, striking a balance between food security and disease prevention is a growing challenge." https://t.co/O1rmpWn2CT

We must shore up access to food as #COVID19 takes hold @rneff1 @erinbie @livablefuture @JohnsHopkinsSPH @JohnsHopkinsEHE https://t.co/dkuLVj2XjH

[Livable Future @livablefuture]

Even before COVID-19, about 11% of US households were considered food insecure. #COVID19 will increase this proportion, for reasons including lost income and food price rises resulting from stockpiling and supply chain interruptions. https://t.co/9kphErwbdr
