Transforming the conversation about hunger and food insecurity and food sovereignty, using research and education, to facilitate social equity that results in healthier communities in Tampa Bay and beyond.

• Conduct research to understand the effects of hunger and food insecurity in the community, home, and individuals;
   
• Educate the public and stakeholders about the diverse face of food insecurity and its downstream effects on community health (i.e., social, economic, physical, and mental);
   
• Develop action plans for the deployment of programs and activities that connect communities together to provide solutions to food insecurity that will contribute to building healthy communities and food sovereignty; and develop policy statements (e.g., White Papers) for policy-makers and stakeholders.
