In this solo episode, host Brittney Johnson delves into the powerful connection between food waste, hunger, and academic performance in children. Learn how food insecurity affects cognitive development, behavior, and school performance, and why addressing this issue is essential for giving children the tools they need to thrive. Brittney also discusses the broader implications of food waste on society and the environment, drawing connections to Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs. Stay tuned for next week’s episode with Dana Williamson from Waste Less Solutions, where we’ll explore specific efforts to reduce food waste and redistribute quality food to those in need across Utah.
