Find resources to support nutrition security, which USDA defines as when “all Americans have consistent access to the safe, healthy, affordable foods essential to optimal health and well-being.” Not only should food be reliably available to everyone, but food should be affordable, culturally relevant, and nutritious.
Nutrition security focuses on health equity by addressing structural racism and inequality, particularly among Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) communities, lower income populations, and rural and remote populations including Tribal communities and Insular areas.
