Background

Food insecurity disproportionately affects BIPOC communities.

The relationship between race/ethnicity and food insecurity is complex and is intertwined with other established determinants. 

In 2020, between March and May, over 1 billion dollars in California farm waste was recorded; many farmers were forced to destroy millions of pounds of perishable produce due to Covid-19.
