I am excited to share that I applied to be a session leader at the Rural Roots Conference in Lexington, KY, this Spring. I hope to be able to share practical and insightful commentary on rural food insecurity and its root causes. This is a subject that, if you have been following me, you know, is close to my heart as I come from a rural community in Texas. It always breaks my heart to hear of food insecurity, where food for the rest of the country is produced.
Hopefully, I will be able to inform the PAs of Appalachia’s future about food insecurity and its role in chronic conditions such as obesity, diabetes, and even mental health concerns!
