Food insecurity and childhood hunger are among the biggest challenges around the world today. Globally, one in nine people faces hunger. For children, hunger is especially devastating, with implications such as delayed development, chronic illnesses, and behavioral problems. This underscores the importance of school feeding programs and breakfast clubs that provide students with a nourishing meal, time to play with friends, and, often, extra academic support.
That's why, for the second year in a row, Kellogg and Insider are bringing together experts and key stakeholders to discuss creative solutions to support food security, the importance of school feeding programs, and the role chefs and innovators can play in sustainable food systems.
Speakers include:
- Chef Arthur Potts Dawson, who will discuss the importance of food access, affordability, and nutrition.
- Andy Du Plessis, managing director, FoodForward SA, who will explore the impact school breakfast programs have on child development and wellbeing.
- Joshua Williams, founder of Joshua's Heart Foundation: Feeding Thousands Of Hungry Souls, who will talk about the vast network of innovative leaders that work to ensure we feed our future.
The virtual event on October 26, 2021 will be hosted by Kim Sundy, senior director, global sustainability at Kellogg, and feature inspiring conversations about how schools, chefs, parents, and food producers can come together to help promote childhood well-being in communities around the world.
