Winona Bynum, Executive Director of the Detroit Food Policy Council, will lead an engaged discussion on the population health implications of the Farm Bill. We will also discuss how the food desert designation has impacted the Farm Bill and how the term "food desert" is perceived within some communities in Detroit. Finally, participants will be able to engage with visuals related to food, hunger, chronic disease burden, policy, etc. in Detroit and beyond.
