Taking action to end hunger starts with understanding the problem. This short video breaks down food insecurity in the U.S.—the scope of the problem, its root causes, and federal policies that combat hunger. Throughout, you'll hear first-person stories from people who have been personally affected by hunger and poverty, and have used their experience to become effective advocates. This video is part of the Congressional Hunger Center's Zero Hunger Academy.
