Urban Sustainability research by T-RUST students @BrennaFriday & @davidacriss8 partnered with a
Community Organization embodies what T-RUST is all about- further identifies the troubling pattern of rising risk of food insecurities in some Detroit areas.

[David A Criss @davidacriss8]

Our analysis builds upon the food insecurity index model originally developed by Data Driven Detroit (D3) in 2017 and it identifies a troubling pattern: the rising risk of food insecurity overshadows the modest improvements in specific areas of Detroit. https://t.co/tkevCaQgT3
